This paper discusses the influence of political economy factors on decentralized natural resource management in India. It assesses the constraints on and potential for decentralization that is posed by the economy and argues that centralizing political forces constrain both the political and ecological scope of the decentralization agenda. It suggests that there should be a more strategic approach in concept and practice and calls for reconsideration of the objectives of decentralized natural resource management.
