自然资源的特殊性使得将其管理权下放给民选地方政府比服务和基础设施的下放更加复杂。然而，自然资源对于第三世界的农村发展问题同样重要。许多国家已经开始实施涉及自然资源和环境的某种形式的权力下放政策，许多地方政府已经在做出影响当地资源未来的决策。本文回顾了玻利维亚、巴西、哥斯达黎加、危地马拉、洪都拉斯和尼加拉瓜森林管理权力下放的经验。根据这些经验，它提出了一种更有效的权力下放战略的工作模型。该模型讨论了分散森林管理的法律结构和定义当地决策范围的相关变量以及影响结果的关键中介因素。即使在当地范围内，大多数变量也为政策和援助干预提供了重要场所。 （作者）
The particular characteristics of natural resources make the decentralisation of their management to elected local governments even more complex than the decentralisation of services and infrastructure. Nevertheless natural resources are equally important to rural development concerns in the Third World. Numerous countries have begun to implement policies for some form of decentralisation involving natural resources and the environment and many local governments are already making decisions that affect the future of local resources. This article reviews experiences with decentralisation of forest management in Bolivia Brazil Costa Rica Guatemala Honduras and Nicaragua. Based on those experiences it proposes a working model for more effective decentralisation strategies. The model addresses the legal structure for decentralised forest management and relevant variables that define the local decision-making sphere as well as key mediating factors that also affect outcomes. Most of these variables even in the local sphere offer important sites for policy and aid intervention. (authors)
