Examining equity: a multidimensional framework for assessing equity in payments for ecosystem services (2013, unknown): “We expand upon the notion of ‘access’ to encompass what we have termed ‘contextual equity’, which takes into account the uneven playing field (Larson and Ribot, 2007) created by the pre-existing political, economic and social conditions under which people engage in and benefit from resource…”
New Rights for Forest-Based Communities? Understanding Processes of Forest Tenure Reform (2010, background): “More often, however, state policies and bureaucrats impose cumbersome and costly regulations on the use or sale of forest resources (Larson et al. 2008, Pulhin et al. forthcoming, see also Colchester et al. 2006, Larson and Ribot 2007, Scherr et al. 2002).”
Incentives to Sustain Forest Ecosystem Services: A Review and Lessons for REDD (2009, background): “…are often ambiguous and overlapping, and are characterised by a lack of transparency and weak enforcement and accountability; in addition efforts to decentralise authority are often incomplete (Kanninen et al. 2007; Larson and Ribot 2007). n Traditional forest users lack secure property rights.”
Charcoal, livelihoods, and poverty reduction: Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa (2013, background): “More broadly, “change that would support poverty alleviation for forest-based communities requires a radical rethinking of forest policy so as to counterbalance widespread regressive policies and structural asymmetries” (Larson and Ribot, 2007: 189).”
The forbidden fuel: Charcoal, urban woodfuel demand and supply dynamics, community forest management and woodfuel policy in Malawi (2010, unknown): “However, even with 338 large-scale producers accounting for a third of production for the four main cities (Kambewa et al., 2007), the Malawian charcoal trade was not as dominated by urban elites as in other countries, e.g., Senegal (Larson and Ribot, 2007; Ribot, 2009).”
Policy without politics: technocratic control of climate change adaptation policy making in Nepal (2016, background): “For example, the forest policy system has often marginalized the poor by maintaining exclusionary policy spaces (Larson & Ribot, 2007).”
