Development Through Bricolage: Rethinking Institutions for Natural Resource Management

By Frances Cleaver

Book Overview

This book disputes the model of development by design and argues that institutions are formed through institutional bricolage, the uneven patching together of old practices and accepted norms with new arrangements. The book draws on a number of contemporary strands of development thinking, and synthesises these to develop new understandings of why and how people act to manage resources and how access is secured or denied.
