Situating Legitimacy: Encounters between State-Based and Local Fisheries Lifeworlds in Uganda
REFNo: SS48ES

Questions of how to design successful environmental management systems have motivated research in anthropology, political geography and international relations for decades. To the extent that ‘success’ depends on compliance, this raises a fundamental question: When and why do people comply with regulations governing the commons? I address this issue from a specific angle: Why do the same natural management policies fail in some spaces, while they succeed in others? Using the exemplifying case of fisheries management in Uganda, I argue that variance in compliance rates with state policies can be understood by studying the constitution and interaction of different lifeworlds and the effects of such encounters on the perceived cultural legitimacy of state policies in specific spaces. Existing studies suggest that if state-based lifeworlds are incongruent with local fisheries lifeworlds, the perceived cultural legitimacy of, as well as compliance rates with, government policies in these spaces are low.
