Abstract

This article focuses on the manner by which resource management regimes, often conceived far away from their areas of application, are integrated into the local institutions, practices and social structure of a place. This proccess of contextualisation maybe critical where where for reasons of scarcity, remoteness or system complexity, the state cannot engage in effective program management. This process can lead to a type of governance that operates through webs of social relationships rather than hierarchical and bureaucratic lines of authority. An analysis ot the Turtle Islands, Philippines, shows how a unique and viable species conservation programme evolved and how the process of contextualisation transformed it.
