Ce. Morrow et Rw. Hull, DONOR-INITIATED COMMON POOL RESOURCE INSTITUTIONS - THE CASE OF THE YANESHA FORESTRY COOPERATIVE, World development, 24(10), 1996, pp. 1641-1657
Several authors have drawn on case studies of successful common pool r
esource (CPR) institutions to develop principles for predicting when a
CPR regime will form and the likelihood of its success once created (
Ostrom, 1990). This paper examines the development and dissolution of
the Yanesha Forestry Cooperative in the Palcazu Valley of Peru to test
the relevance of Ostrom's CPR design principles to indigenous forest
management regimes involving donor assistance and other external influ
ences. The paper expands several principles and suggests ways in which
external agencies can assist more effectively in the development of d
urable common pool resource institutions. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier
