Abstract
While approaches to resource management are increasingly popular and offer the promise of economic and political benefits to local communities, they have also been critiqued for extending centralized control of resources, co-opting grassroots resistance, or shifting the burden of project implementation to local residents. Based on ethnographic research in rural Tanzania, this paper examines one pilot program in joint forest management to explore the difficult process and complex effects of participatory management. It examines how the historic competition over land and forest resources informs the contemporary co-management project and how current forest management strategies, such as the taungya system of agroforestry, may subvert local land claims.
