Forest Resource Rights and Governance in the Neoliberal Era in India

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This article discusses how and why neoliberal policies dominate and influence the resource rights discourse. Despite the provisions for taking prior informed consent from affected people before diversion and acquisition of forest lands under the Forest Rights Act, 2006 and the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, several attempts have been made to dilute these provisions. The authors examine the salient features that dominate and facilitate neoliberal policies on resource extraction.
