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 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.

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.


This book takes a fresh look at the land question in India. It goes beyond re-engagement in the rich transition debate by critically examining both theoretically and empirically the role of land in contemporary India. Springing from the political economy discourse surrounding the classic capitalist transition issue in agriculture in India, the book gravitates toward the development discourse that inevitably veers toward land and the role of the state in pushing a process of dispossession of peasants through direct expropriation for developmental purposes. Contemporary dispossession may look similar to the historical process of primitive accumulation that makes room for capitalist agriculture and expanded accumulation. But this volume shows that land in India is sought increasingly for non-agricultural purposes as well. These include risk mitigation by farmers, real estate development, infrastructure development by states often on behalf of business, and special economic zones. Tribal communities (advasis), who depend on land for their livelihoods and a moral economy that is independent of any price-driven markets, hold on to land for collective security. Thus land acquisition continues to be a turbulent arena in which classes, castes, and communities are in conflict with the state and capital, each jockeying to determine the terms and conditions of land transactions or their prevention, through both market and non-market mechanisms. The volume collectively addresses the role of the state involved in the process of dispossession of peasants and tribal communities. It provides new analytical insights into the land acquisition processes, their legal-institutional and ethical implications, and captures empirically the multifaceted regional diversity of the contestations surrounding the acquisition experiences in India.

The legal-political discourse at the time of drafting of independent India’s Constitution resulted in a unique constitutional arrangement guaranteeing a model of self-government through setting up Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) for some of India’s designated tribal communities. This constitutional modality governing the tribal majority regions in India’s North-east is known as the Sixth Schedule. Given the pre-existing tribal institutions, it was implied that ADCs were to act as ‘bridges of governance’ between the state and traditional polity. This article tries to look at the nature of governance and gaps in governance through the lens of ADCs.

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.

Abstract: The economic elements are of great importance to the componential structure of the Malaysian society. Moreover, the economic structure represents one of the major elements of a state might. The economic potentials of a state include whatever resources it has or whatever it can get to achieve its strategies or the self-sufficiency of its people in wartime. In peacetime, on the other hand, the state should depend on a strong economic base that helps achieve a completion to its parts and a basic element of its internal political integrity. Accordingly, the various types of the economic resources with respect to the production, exchange, and consumption represent one of the influential factors that affect the political behavior of a state- the way of its thinking, saying, decision-making, and actions. Much of the political behavior of a state comes from its economic background within its territory. However, the factor that plays a significant role in determining the actual might of a state is the number of population a state has and its ability in investing its resources. From this vantage, Malaysia represents one of the economically rich countries owing to its various natural resources. Furthermore, both trade and transport help a great deal in redistributing the economic resources of Malaysia. For the latter importance, the present work is to showcase in detail the role the economic factors play in achieving the stability and integrity of Malaysia and its people. Besides, it sheds light on the impact of ethnic diversity and the strategic position in the world on the overall stability of the state.
