The Contested Floodplain

Focusing on the impact of institutional change, this work examines the resource management failures in Zambia's Kafue Flats floodplain wetlands. By integrating New Institutionalism with political ecology and local ecological insights, it offers a comprehensive analysis relevant to African and environmental studies. The book features an in-depth social anthropological exploration of agro-pastoral and fishing communities, enriched by a foreword from Dr. Elizabeth Colson, enhancing its scholarly appeal.
