In particular, is asks: How do the preconditions surrounding a given natural resource, such as property rights, legislative framework, and agency-performance incentives, circumscribe the possibilities for collaboration? Drawing upon irrigation and forest management policies and practices in India from the mid-1800s anward, it´s argued that the context of irrigation provides some opportunities for supporting agency-citizen collaboration, whereas such efforts in forestry are unlikely to succed without fundamental change
