Citations in the corpus

• Social Metabolism, Ecological Distribution Conflicts, and Valuation Languages (2010, background): “The two cases in India are about potential conflicts, it is not clear who the main actors will be, while women are active in many cases despite the usual participatory exclusions (Agarwal, 2001), and in one case (in Cameroon) they occupy the leadership position.”
• Why May Forest Devolution not Benefit the Rural Poor? Forest Entitlements in Vietnam's Central Highlands (2007, background): “Similarly, differences in people’s forest endowments within a locality may originate from state regulations and programs (e.g., Dachang & Edmunds, 2003), local power structures (e.g., Agrawal & Gupta, 2005), and gender relations (e.g., Agarwal, 2001).”
• Unpacking “Participation” in the Adaptive Management of Social–ecological Systems: a Critical Review (2006, background): “…boasts several reflexive critiques of these different types of participation (see Cooke and Kothari (2001), Hickey and Mohan (2004), Mosse (1994), Agarwal (2001), and Eversole (2003), among others), but understanding what “participation” means specifically within the adaptive management cycle…”
• Is there a global environmental justice movement? (2016, background): “EJ research encompasses issues of exclusion (Agarwal 2001) but also of the potential new leadership of environmental movements by different social actors; for example, in the environmentalism of the poor as in EJ movements in general, it is crucial to recognize the contribution women make in poor…”
• The Environmentalism of the Poor revisited: : Territory and place in disconnected glocal struggles (2014, background): “It also refers to non-distributional dimensions of justice such as recognition and avoidance of participatory exclusions (Agarwal, 2001; Schlosberg, 2007).”
• Gender and Sustainable Forest Management in East Africa and Latin America (2011, background): “…barriers stemming from cultural constructions of gender roles, responsibilities and expected behavior, logistical barriers relating to the timings and length of organizational meetings, and male bias in the attitudes of those promoting community forestry initiatives (B. Agarwal 1997, 2001, 2007).”
• Does Women's Proportional Strength Affect their Participation? Governing Local Forests in South Asia (2010, background): “These studies, and the insights they provide, as well as my earlier review of these issues in Agarwal (1997, 2000, 2001) lay the ground for taking the analysis further, especially on two counts.”
• Factors influencing people's participation in the forest management program in Burkina Faso, West Africa (2011, background): “Equity and inclusion of all members in group activities are important factors in determining the effectiveness of participation (Agarwal, 2001).”
• Environmental Justice and Economic Degrowth: An Alliance between Two Movements (2012, background): “It addresses non-distributional dimensions of justice, such as recognition of the legitimacy of social actors to speak out in protest (Schlosberg 2007) and inclusion of all who are affected by resource extraction and pollution (Agarwal 2001).”
• Social Ecological Economics: Understanding the Past to See the Future (2011, background): “Thus, work by ISEE Presidents Bina Agarwal (2001), Joan Martinez-Alier (2002), Richard Norgaard (1994) and John Gowdy (1994) has addressed the social and political as much as the economic, while emphasizing the need to learn from interactions with ecosystems.”
• Evolution of co-management: role of knowledge generation, bridging organizations and social learning. (2009, background): “One caution is that adaptive co-management, like co-management, is no guarantee of fairness or equity in resource sharing, as in Joint ForestManagement in India (Agarwal, 2001).”
