Abstract

From an author who has pioneered work in the area of gender inequality in property, land and environmental issues, is a book which inverts the focus on the gender question. Moving away from existing literature that focuses on why women are absent from forestry governance institutions, Bina Agarwal asks, “what difference would it make if women were present in these institutions?” and “how much presence do women need for making a difference?” Accordingly, the book is divided into three parts: ‘The Potential of Presence’, ‘The Impact of Presence’ and ‘Beyond Presence’.
