This dissertation research project will investigate how and why good intentions of forest co-management initiatives in Indonesia lead to unintended consequences. It will examine the institutional culture of and relationships between organizations involved in co-management, and map how these initiatives provide an arena to strengthen, negotiate and contest claims to forest resources at the local level. The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and its co-management initiative in East Kalimantan will be the focal points through which these issues are examined. The study seeks to understand the process of knowledge production about forests and forest dependent communities in Indonesia, as well as the consequences of that knowledge for forest dependent communities. Research objectives are as follows: (1) to document the processes of and identify the factors that affect selecting, implementing and reporting research on forest co-management in Indonesia by CIFOR; (2) to trace the types and flows of information between CIFOR and other actors at local, regional and national levels; (3) to examine how local level actors negotiate and contest rights and claims to forest resources and determine how CIFOR's co-management initiative affects these contestations and negotiations; (4) to compare the consequences of CIFOR's intervention with the initiative's intentions; and (5) to contribute to a broader theoretical understanding of the culture and political economy of institutions that produce knowledge about forests and forest dependent people. Meeting these objectives requires an ethnographic focus on how knowledge is produced, used and transformed. Over a 12-month period, multi-sited research will be conducted in Indonesia, employing the following methods: participant observation, semi-structured and open-ended interviews, and content analysis of documents. Using this set of methods will allow triangulation of interview, observational and documentary data collected from multiple sources, as well as the analysis of the continuities and disjunctures between data sources. On a logistical level, collaborating with CIFOR provides the necessary access to conduct this study successfully.This study will contribute to theoretical debates concerned the culture and political economy of knowledge producing institutions, and the effects of that knowledge at global, national and local levels. Investigating the institutional culture of a forestry institution fills a major gap in the literature on development and environmental institutions. It also contributes to the science studies literature by investigating the nexus of science and management, and moving from the laboratory sciences, which has been most examined, to the field sciences and their application, which has been least studied. While most studies of forestry institution interventions at the village level limit their scope to village level dynamics, this study integrates an understanding of an intervention at the village level with an investigation of the institutional culture that gave rise to it, as well as analyzes the interplay between village and institutional realities. In doing so, it interrogates the assumed boundaries between western knowledge and its non-western subjects and between experts and those ostensibly in need of expertise.

本论文的研究项目将调查如何以及为什么在印度尼西亚的森林共同管理倡议的良好意图导致意想不到的后果。它将审查参与共同管理的各组织的体制文化和它们之间的关系，并查明这些倡议如何提供一个竞技场，以加强、谈判和质疑地方一级对森林资源的要求。国际林业研究中心（林业中心）及其在东加里曼丹的共同管理倡议将是审查这些问题的协调中心。该研究旨在了解印度尼西亚森林和以林为生社区的知识生产过程，以及这些知识对以林为生社区的影响。研究目标如下：（1）记录林业中心在印度尼西亚选择、执行和报告森林共同管理研究的过程，并查明影响这些研究的因素;（2）追踪林业中心与地方、区域和国家各级其他行动者之间的信息类型和流动情况;（3）审查地方一级行为者如何谈判和对森林资源的权利和要求提出异议，并确定林业中心的共同管理倡议如何影响这些异议和谈判;（4）将林业中心干预的后果与该倡议的意图进行比较;（5）促进从理论上更广泛地了解产生关于森林和以森林为生的人的知识的机构的文化和政治经济。要实现这些目标，就需要在人种学上关注知识是如何产生、使用和转化的。在12个月的时间里，将在印度尼西亚进行多地点研究，采用以下方法：参与者观察、半结构化和开放式访谈以及文件内容分析。使用这套方法将允许三角测量的采访，观察和文件数据收集从多个来源，以及分析数据来源之间的连续性和分离。在后勤方面，与林业中心的合作为成功开展这项研究提供了必要的途径，这项研究将有助于有关知识生产机构的文化和政治经济以及这种知识在全球、国家和地方各级的影响的理论辩论。调查林业机构的机构文化填补了发展和环境机构文献中的一个主要空白。它还通过调查科学和管理的关系，从实验室科学，这是最检查，到现场科学及其应用，这是最少的研究，有助于科学研究文献。虽然大多数研究在村庄一级的林业机构干预措施的范围限制在村庄一级的动态，本研究整合了在村庄一级的干预措施的理解与调查的制度文化，引起了它，以及分析村庄和制度的现实之间的相互作用。在此过程中，它质疑西方知识与非西方学科之间、专家与那些表面上需要专业知识的人之间的假定界限。
