Abstract

This book documents and reflects on an initiative that recognizes the steps that researchers are taking to implement social and gender analysis (SAGA) research including questions of class, caste and ethnicity in natural resource management. It presents learning studies from six diverse research teams in India, Nepal, China, Viet Nam and Mongolia. The selected cases illustrate ‘on-the-ground’ examples of challenges and opportunities, successes and disappointments in integrating social and gender analysis. They also highlight a number of methods used and adapted in the very diverse contexts of the Asian region.
