Description
Summary:This paper analyzes the reconfiguration of the management committee in charge of the common forest in the village of Sarmoli. Through the perspective of the « environmental capital », it shows how an « informal » management committee dealt with the crisis faced by the official management. This new configuration changed the mode of political expression and restrained the scale of decision making. This reconfiguration only focused on gender inequality and thus glossed over the structure of local powers. As a consequence, it did not annihilate all socio-economical inequalities in the village, but only shifted them.
