Studies on power dynamics have helped to develop a better understanding of the role of actors and interests influencing community forestry initiatives. This article introduces a sequential power analysis as a framework for expanding research on power dynamics to better understand the various stages that shape benefit sharing outcomes in community forestry. The research is based on the increasingly popular “partnership” scheme in Indonesia, but the framework is introduced as a method for potential application in other community forestry contexts. The framework is based on three parts. It first historicizes the actors in what we term the “power background.” Thereafter we examine the arrival of a partnership scheme described as “power delivery”. Third, we highlight a process of “power adjustment,” which serves to explain the way actors achieve benefit sharing outcomes. Our research draws from a diverse set of partnership schemes from four sites across five different comparative variables. We find that the framing of power delivery allows us to identify the key actors that serve as the messengers of partnership schemes (the prophets) promoting the terms of project implementation. In the latter stages however, power adjustment determines the outcomes, which are contingent upon benefit-sharing arrangements (profits). Not only does our sequential power analysis help to enrich studies of power dynamics in community forestry, we also show that the current implementation of the partnership scheme in Indonesia is unlikely to result in more equitable outcomes, but rather serves to strengthen the position of existing powerful actors.

印度尼西亚社会林业合作计划中的先知和利润：引入连续功率分析

对权力动态的研究有助于更好地了解影响社区林业举措的行动者和利益的作用。本文介绍了作为扩展权力动态研究的框架的顺序权力分析，以更好地了解塑造社区林业利益共享结果的各个阶段。该研究基于印度尼西亚日益流行的“伙伴关系”计划，但该框架被引入作为其他社区林业环境中潜在应用的方法。该框架基于三个部分。它首先将我们称为“权力背景”的演员历史化。此后，我们研究了被称为“电力输送”的合作伙伴计划的到来。三是突出“权力调整、”这有助于解释行动者实现利益分享成果的方式。我们的研究借鉴了来自四个站点、跨越五个不同比较变量的一系列不同的合作伙伴计划。我们发现，电力交付的框架使我们能够确定作为促进项目实施条款的伙伴关系计划（先知）的使者的关键参与者。然而，在后期阶段，权力调整决定了结果，这取决于利益分享安排（利润）。我们的连续权力分析不仅有助于丰富社区林业权力动态的研究，而且我们还表明，目前在印度尼西亚实施的伙伴关系计划不太可能产生更公平的结果，而是有助于加强现有强权的地位。演员。
