We are Zambians -Don't tell us how to fish! Institutional Change, Power Relations and Conflicts in the Kafue Flats Fisheries in Zambia (Publications)
Many scholars claim that open access due to the effective absence of state control is the major reason for the overuse of common-pool resources such as fisheries. Based on data from the Kafue Flats fisheries [...] fisheries in Zambia, we argue that the main problem in open-access situations is the paradox of a state that is simultaneously absent and present: present in actions that dismantle local fishery institutions [...] notion of citizenship) strengthening the bargaining power of external...
