Summary

Exploring the relevance of a communitarian institutional approach for sustainable management of renewable resources in Rajasthan, this interdisciplinary study closely verifies institutional development within the power-theoretical framework. The analysis searches for a conceivable strategy for equitable management of sustainable resources in the public domain and examines several aspects of institutional interventions and ecological changes that have had serious implications for livelihood generations. Ultimately showcasing that institutional sustainability against the backdrop of unequal power relationships may succeed in expanding biodiversity, this reference brings connections between poverty reduction and ecological restoration to the center of the development discourse.
