将社区自然资源管理制度化的许多尝试都侧重于通过参与确保负责任的代表性的机制。在共同管理的框架内，谈判已成为处理冲突的一种重要策略。本文以加纳木材权收购社会责任协议谈判为例，探讨了公民参与的期望与现实的比较以及影响公民偏好的因素。具体的经验教训是，必须敏感地注意开放社会和政治空间，让公民参与，灵活地允许影响因素和代表过程之间的动态相互作用，以及采取一些增强权能的干预措施，以建立公民意识，确保要求向下问责。
Many attempts to institutionalize community-based natural resource management have focused on mechanisms to secure accountable representation through participation. Within the framework of co-management, negotiation has become a prominent strategy for dealing with conflict. Using a case study of the negotiation of the social responsibility agreement for acquisition of timber rights in Ghana, the paper explores citizen expectations of participation compared with reality and the factors influencing citizen preference. Specific lessons learned were the need to be sensitive to opening social and political spaces for citizen participation, flexibility to allow dynamic interplay between the influencing factors and the representation process, and some empowerment interventions to create civil consciousness to ensure demand for downward accountability.
