Borneo in Transition: People, Forests, Conservation, and Development
Christine Padoch, Nancy Lee Peluso
The last three decades have been exceptionally important for the people and forests of Borneo. Logging and public roads have reached many of the most remote villages, monospecific plantations have replaced diverse native forests, hundreds of thousands of immigrants have moved to the island, and vast strides have been made by the Indonesian and Malaysian governments in extending both the infrastructure and the ideologies of national integration. This collection of articles introduces the reader to many of these important topics and to some of the most insightful and active scholars doing research in Borneo. Many of the studies examine transitions in resource management in specific communities, but do not ignore the regional, national, and international contexts of local phenomena. Other contributions place more emphasis on regional patterns and national policies that have significance for the way resources are managed in local communities. Studies carried out at various levels of analysis highlight the diversity and complexity of the changing linkages between people and forests.
