Long-running support for Adivasi (or tribal) land rights motivated a wide range of actors to block the project's implementation by recourse to India's dispersed institutional landscape, while project proponents proved adept in proposing workarounds to prevent its outright cancellation. In the ensuing deadlock, the project was unable to move towards completion, while marginalised Adivasi groups were equally unable to repossess their land. Such a 'landlock' is argued to be characteristic of India's wider inability to deal with conflicts over land matters, despite the crucial importance of land for smallholder livelihoods and various economic processes in an intensely growth-focused country. The result has been frequent yet grindingly slow processes of contestation in which powerful business and state interests are, at times, halted in their tracks, but mostly seem able to slowly exhaust local resistance in their pursuit of large-scale projects that produce no benefits for the rural poor. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-225). 650 0 $a Land tenure $z India. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z India. 650 0 $a Natural resources $z Andhra Pradesh. $z Andhra Pradesh. 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970213 650 7 $a Land tenure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991362 650 7 $a Natural resources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034403 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a India $z Andhra Pradesh. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206456 710 2 $a Australian National University Press. 830 0 $a Asia-Pacific environment monograph ; $v 14. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A93CCD80CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
