Legal Pluralism and Unofficial Law in Social, Economic and Political Development : papers of the XIIIth International Congress 7-10 April 2002 Chiang Mai, Thailand
Conflicts over natural resources as a consequence of legal pluralism in post Independence Asian states are rampant. The penetration of the market economy into rural areas, backed by statutory law, has marginalized the life of rural people and has caused alarming resource degradation. As a response to the imposition of state laws, homogeneous models of resource management and centralized decision making there is now an increasing demand for more local autonomy in resource management. Such demands can have far reaching consequences for social security, poverty alleviation, gender issues and the sustainability of resource management. Community based resource management (of land, water, forest, and mining) governed by customary laws increasingly is seen as essential to protect the environment and the economic interests of rural people.
