The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, popularly called FRA, 2006, was enacted to recognize and vest the forest rights and occupation in forest land in forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes(STs) and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers(OTFDs). The Act became effective from 01 January, 2008. Broadly, all rights can be grouped into three different categories viz, Individual Rights (IR), Community Rights(CR), and Community Forest Resources Rights (CFR). As more than six lakh claims were filed for different categories of rights in Madhya Pradesh and mostly for IR, the present study has been conducted to assess whether all three types of rights guaranteed by the FRA have been recognized and proper approaches followed.The studycarried out in six districts of Madhya Pradesh viz. Chhindwara, Mandla, Badwani, Khargone, Shahdol and Sidhhi reveals that the major thrust by the State has been on recognising Individual Rights while other two categories of rights have not received much attention. Although, recognition process has followed defined approaches yet many gaps were noticed.

The Parliament, on 29 December 2006, passed a historic legislation called The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, popularly called FRA, 2006, to recognize and vest the forest rights and occupation in forest land in forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (OTFDs). One of the objectives of the Act is to strengthen the conservation regime of the forests while ensuring livelihood and food security of the forest dwellers. While recognizing and vesting various rights in forest dwelling STs & OTFDs several welfare schemes to improve the productivity of forest land recognized and thereby to uplift the socio-economic status of forest dwellers have been carried out. Besides, the development rights provided under Section 3(2) for creation of infrastructure etc. in the villages also play an important role in this direction. A study was conducted to assess the FRA’s impact on socio-economic status of the forest dwellers in Madhya Pradesh considering that the State has got extensive forest areas, large forest dwelling tribal communities, presence of diverse agro-ecological zones, and being pioneer in the implementation of FRA. Survey was carried out in six districts viz. Chhindwara, Mandla, Badwani, Khargone, Shahdol and Sidhhi and the result reveals that different welfare schemes implemented for the benefits of forest dwellers and recognized forest land have created overall positive impacts on their socio-economic status, post implementation of FRA 2006.

The history of the forests in canton Geneva, having led to these being disconnected from productive functions, provides a symptomatic demonstration that the services provided by the forest eco-system are common goods. Having no hope of financial returns in the near future and faced with increasing social demands, the state has invested in the purchase of forest land, financed projects for forest regeneration and improvement of biological diversity and developed infrastructures for visitors. In doing this the state as a public body takes on the provision of services in the public interest. But the further funding for this and for expenses for the private forests, which must be taken into account, are not secured for the future.

In and around the state-owned forest of Farako in the region of Sikasso, Mali, a large-scale study focused on finding a compromise allowing the existential and legitimate needs of the population to be met and at the same time conserving the forest resources in the long term. The first step in research was to sketch out the rural socio-economic context and determine the needs for natural resources for autoconsumption and commercial use as well as the demand for non-material forest services. Simultaneously, the environmental context of the forest and the resources available were evaluated by means of inventories with regard to quality and quantity. According to an in-depth comparison between demand and potential, there is a differentiated view of the suitability of the forest to meet the needs of the people living nearby. Propositions for a multipurpose management of the forest were drawn up. This contribution deals with some basic elements of research methodology as well as with results of the study.

Insurgent Universality presents an intervention in current discussions on universalism, democracy, and property. It investigates other trajectories besides traditional ones of modernity and traces an alternative legacy for contemporary movements. This legacy exceeds the familiar juridical horizon of citizenship, individual rights, and the state by revisiting questions relating to power, democratic practices, and the modern conception of private property. Insurgent Universality investigates and displays alternative trajectories of modernity that have been repressed, hindered, and forgotten. These trajectories are not only embodiments of a radical hope and a new conception of universality that arose from insurgencies from below; they also alert us to possibilities in our present that have been underestimated or overlooked. Eventually, they show us alternative institutions by which to reshape our present. These experimental democratic practices and institutions are based on the pluralism of authorities instead of the monopoly power of the state. However, such an inquiry resists the utopian urge to clear the tables. Instead, the book examines more closely, and with a fresh perspective, those aspects of our intellectual inheritance that we have allowed to remain in the darkness. By doing this, Insurgent Universality aims to “decolonize” European history, offering an image of Europe that is not monolithic but, rather, composed of many layers and paths that have been repressed or forgotten. The aim of the book is to rebuild those roads not taken and bridge them with non-European trajectories and political experiments.

Abstract Can one speak philosophically of a justified limitation of freedom? Hegel’s logically founded definition of free will and his understanding of right and duty can contribute to a clarification of the concept of freedom. Important is a precise differentiation between freedom and caprice (Willkür) – the latter being a necessary but one-sided element of the free will. In caprice, the will is not yet in the form of reason. Rational rights and duties are not a restriction of freedom. Insofar as individual rights can collide (e. g. in emergency situations), there can be a temporary and proportionate restriction of certain rights in favour of higher rights, such as the right to life. Dictatorships are instances of capricious rule which restrict freedom; the rationally designed state, by contrast, restricts only caprice. What is tobe defined are the duties and the rights of the state and the duties and the rights of the citizens.

Abstract: This paper explains how the community of Lempur Village living in the forest area have a high dependence with nature. The position of the community is considered to interfere with the conservation program, that they must accept losing access to the forest area that has become the state property (TNKS). The loss of access to forest resources, pushed them to be more protective with the land that already allocated to them by the local government. Their openness to migrants began to fade and they did not tolerate new migrants who cleared land, reinforced by the ancestors history to reinforce the concept of localization to see who has the right to access land in Lempur Village. Moreover, other form of their resistance is by reconstruct the myths,  addressed to immigrants, corporations, and tourists. Intisari: Tulisan ini menjelaskan bagaimana masyarakat Desa Lempur yang tinggal berbatasan dengan hutan sangat menggantungkan hidupnya terhadap alam. Posisi masyarakat desa dianggap mengganggu program konservasi sehingga mereka harus menerima kehilangan akses di area hutan yang sudah menjadi milik negara (TNKS). Dengan hilangnya akses mereka terhadap sumber daya hutan yang kini dijadikan area konservasi, menuntut mereka untuk lebih protektif terhadap sisa lahan yang memang sudah diperuntukan bagi mereka oleh pemerintah daerah. Keterbukaan mereka terhadap pendatang mulai pudar dan tidak lagi dapat mentoleransi pendatang membuka lahan. Diperkuat dengan sejarah nenek moyang mereka untuk mengukuhkan konsep kelokalan guna melihat siapa yang memiliki hak untuk mengakses tanah di Desa Lempur ini. Selain itu bentuk lain dari perlawanan mereka ialah dengan merekonstruksi kembali mitos-mitos yang sangat kuat digaungkan kepada pendatang, baik imigran, perusahaan, maupun wisatawan.
