Theory of Access Sample Clauses

Theory of Access with factors influencing costs of making a claim and enforcing it and factors influencing expected benefits from resource use (modified from Ribot and Xxxxxx, 2003) Discourse strategies of actors play an important role in the ability to influence and determine socially constructed power relations (Xxxxxxxx 1978, Xxxxxx et al. 2009). A discourse can be defined, following Hajer (1995), as a specific assemblage of ideas, concepts, and categorization that are produced, reproduced and transformed in a particular set of practices and through which meaning is given to physical and social realities. It contributes to a construction of certain values and goals as more worthy than others, identifies particular institutions as primary actors in a policy issue and attributes authority to certain bodies of knowledge over others (MacDonald 2003). Three key elements are found in this definition: first, a specific set of ideas, concepts and categorization, second, the fact that these are being produced, reproduced and transformed into a set of practices, and third that we make sense of what we see and experience through them (Tennekes 2005). Arts and Buizer (2009) distinguished and summarized four types of discourse approaches. Discourse as communication is often associated with discussion, debate or an exchange of views with regard to a certain societal or political topic. Discourse as text influences how a certain language or conversation is written and interpreted. Discourse as frame is informed by present knowledge, beliefs and values. Finally, discourse as social practice disciplines human agencies to think, speak and act in a certain way and not otherwise. Policy studies on discursive strategies in the struggle over property rights have focused on ‘stories’ (Xxxxxxxx 1995, Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx 2002), historical context (Biezeveld 2004), scientific assessments (Galudra and Sirait 2009), legal arguments (Turk 1978, xxx Xxxxxxxxxx 1990), language expression (Xxxxxxxxx 1998) or combinations of several of these. Biezeveld (2004), for example, described how historical context and legal concepts were reinterpreted and defined by different groups involved in land disputes in West Sumatra, by framing their arguments in the vocabulary of the other party. Groups used their knowledge of different interpretations of historical events to negotiate current access. Such discursive strategies can change rapidly as a result of the political and economic situation (Xxxxxxxxx 2001). Neve...
