Co-management -- the sharing of responsibilities between governmental institutions and resource users -- is rapidly becoming popular in Asia. In many countries, environmental management is reformulated from exclusive state control to various kinds of joint management in which local communities, indigenous peoples, and non-governmental organizations share authority and benefits with governmental institutions. In this book, case studies of experiments with co-management in a number of countries are combined with more reflective contributions pointing to underlying assumptions and problems in the actual implementation of co-management.
