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.

该论文研究项目将研究印度尼西亚森林共同管理计划的良好意图以及为什么会带来意想不到的后果。它将研究参与共同管理的组织之间的制度文化和关系，并绘制这些举措如何为在地方一级加强，谈判和质疑森林资源的主张。国际林业研究中心（CIFOR）及其在东加利曼丹东部的共同管理计划将是研究这些问题的重点。该研究试图了解印度尼西亚森林和森林依赖社区的知识生产过程，以及该知识对森林依赖社区的后果。研究目标如下：（1）记录并确定影响选择，实施和报告对印度尼西亚森林共同管理的选择的因素； （2）追踪CIFOR与其他参与者之间的信息类型和流动； （3）探讨地方一级参与者如何谈判和竞争权利和索赔森林资源，并确定CIFOR的共同管理计划如何影响这些竞争和谈判； （4）将CIFOR干预的后果与该计划的意图进行比较； （5）为对森林和森林依赖人的知识的机构的文化和政治经济有了更广泛的理论理解。实现这些目标需要民族志的重点，关注知识的产生，使用和转化。在一个12个月的时间里，将采用以下方法在印度尼西亚进行多人研究：参与者观察，半结构化和开放式访谈以及文档的内容分析。使用这组方法将允许从多个来源收集的访谈，观察性和文献数据进行三角测量，以及对数据源之间的连续性和析取的分析。从后勤层面上，与CIFOR的合作提供了成功进行这项研究的必要访问。这项研究将有助于理论辩论，涉及知识生产机构的文化和政治经济学，以及该知识对全球，国家和地方层面的影响。调查林业机构的制度文化填补了有关发展和环境机构的文献的重大空白。它还通过研究科学和管理的联系，从最不研究研究的实验室科学及其应用，从而为科学研究文献做出了贡献。虽然大多数对村庄层面的林业机构干预措施的研究将其范围限制为乡村级别的动态，但本研究将对村庄一级的干预措施的理解与对产生的制度文化的调查相结合，并分析了乡村与体制现实之间的相互作用。这样一来，它询问了西方知识与其非西方主题之间以及专家与表面上需要专业知识的人之间的假定界限。
