		<description><![CDATA[Scholarly communities and policy experts have a tendency to divide natural resources into categories, hindering holistic understanding. Similarly, the stakeholders themselves &#8211; the state, business and people &#8211; are conceived monolithically, making it difficult to grasp how business interests, intra-bureaucratic politics and civil society movements influence policy outcomes. This book examines the socio-political dynamic generated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Culture, Development and Social Theory places culture back at the centre of debates in development studies.
