Abstract

Cultural heterogeneity is considered to be a plausible explanatory factor in the management of natural resources. We show that the capability approach can nuance this argument. By contextualizing the role of cultural heterogeneity, arguing that inequalities of opportunity often take precedence over cultural differences, we show how the capability approach modifies the role of this factor. We then underline that cultural heterogenity is often a mask for differences in opportunities based on three dimensions of power: strategic power, institutional power, and domination power.
