The aim of this course is to bring in various sociological dimensions of managing and governing resources be it a natural resource such as land, water, fisheries, forest or a man-made resource like internet, knowledge, culture, etc. The course will reflect on different perspectives on conservation practices, socio-political context, technical and cultural interaction between resources and different stakeholders. While doing that it will situate the debates along developmental and commons discourse.
