Description

Participatory Development provides an alternative rural development strategy based on people's participation in common property resources such as irrigation tanks and common land. The authors use primary survey data from five villages in north India to provide evidence of the gainful participation of village societies in the management of water and forest resources. It is a book which will be of use to academics studying economic development in developing countries and anyone interested in the complex relationship between government and people in the rural sector.
