Ganesh Chandra
Participation, empowerment and inclusion have become the new development buzzword. There has been a range of interpretations of the meaning of participation in development. Participatory development starts from the premise that it is important to identify and build upon strengths already present in communities. Perhaps the most widespread appearance of participation in mainstream development has been seen in the form of participatory methodologies of research, intended to gather a wide range of information from local people at their livelihoods, needs, and strengths, at the same time as 'empowering' them through a process of collaborative analysis and learning.

Factors Affecting Participation In Spot And Options Markets For Water, Ram Ranjan
Factors Affecting Participation In Spot And Options Markets For Water, Ram Ranjan
Ram Ranjan
In this paper, using a stylized mathematical simulation model, the participation of farmers in spot and options markets is analyzed in a two-period setting. Farmers assess the benefits from entering one of the two markets based upon anticipated water supplies in a subsequent period and relative expected profits in water and agricultural markets. Supply of water for urban use is a function of uncertain weather conditions and water demands for agricultural uses. The analysis offers insight on water market participation by deriving conditions that favor spot or options market participation. Findings highlight the importance of market size, agricultural profitability and …
Social Norms, Social Capital And The Sustainability Of Small Scale Economies, Ram Ranjan
Social Norms, Social Capital And The Sustainability Of Small Scale Economies, Ram Ranjan
Ram Ranjan
This paper develops a conceptual model to link social norms and social capital with key socio-ecological characteristics of small scale economies in order to derive implications for the sustainability of natural resources and survival of these economies. Specifically, the extent of punishment required to deter defection is derived as a function of group size, rewards from defection, resource stock and the risk of groundwater loss. Social norms which ordain collective participation and punishments can be endogenous, dynamic and exhibit resilience. The implication of these possibilities on the sustainability of small scale economies is also evaluated.
