dc.description.abstractIn the vast literature on a range of dimensions of forest governance, the facet of gender has received meagre attention. In addition, the nexus between women’s presence and forest governance has been less established through rigorous analysis. Moreover, in the gender and governance literature, the issues addressed are limited in range and there is a lack of empirical verification. In this context, the book titled Gender and Green Governance: The Political Economy of Women’s Presence Within and Beyond Community Forestry can be viewed as an immense, novel contribution to the literature and a milestone in the ongoing debate on forest governance, gender, rural energy and political economy. The study is based on a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative assessment using the information collected through the author’s extensive fieldwork in selected areas of India and Nepal.en_US
