在尼泊尔，森林治理问题在很大程度上由国家与社区的对话主导，将知识分子、专业人员和从业人员分为两个意识形态阵营。我们认为，这场辩论是理论上薄弱，实际上不太有用，因为它没有考虑到半封建和等级尼泊尔通信结构。这种分歧在很大程度上破坏了国家和社区组织内部的差异，认为它们是同质和单一的。报告显示，这种二分法和由此产生的政策进程如何加强了地方精英、官僚和政治家之间的联盟，使贫穷和处境不利的森林使用者进一步边缘化。它表明，话语的重点应该是社会行动者之间的复杂互动，贯穿国家-社区鸿沟。
The issue of forest governance in Nepal is highly dominated by the state versus community discourse, dividing intellectuals, professionals and practitioners into two ideological camps. We argue that this debate is theoretically weak and practically less useful, as it fails to take into account the semi-feudal and hierarchical Nepalese communication structure. This divide has largely undermined the internal differentiations both within the state and community organizations, assuming them to be homogenous and monolithic. It is shown how this dichotomy and the resultant policy processes have strengthened the alliances between local elite, bureaucrats and politicians, further marginalizing the poor and disadvantaged forest users. It suggests that the focus of the discourse should be on the complex interactions among the social actors crosscutting state- community divide.
