Anwesha Dutta (2020). The conservation-corruption conundrum: Understanding everyday relationships between rangers and communities. Bergen: Chr. Michelsen Institute (U4 Brief 2020:15)

A better understanding of rangers roles and positionalities in the context of places with ethnic conflict, corruption and natural resources management can aid better policy and practice outcomes.
