The local turn in good governance theory and practice responded to critiques of the ineffectiveness of state management and the inequity of privatization alternatives in natural resource management. Confounding expectations of greater effectiveness from decentralised governance, including community-based natural resource management, however, critics argue that expanded opportunities for elite capture have become widely associated with program failures. This overview of theoretical controversies on leadership, patronage and elite capture is part of a themed section in this issue that challenges assumptions across a wide range of current policy literature. It introduces a set of Indonesian case studies that examine practices of local leaders and elites and seek to account in structural terms for appropriations both ('elite capture') and ('captured elites') these key figures. These studies explore the structural factors and co-governance practices most likely to promote effective participation of the full spectrum of local interests in pursuit of better local natural resource governance.
地方层面善治理论与实践的转变回应了对国家管理有效性以及自然资源管理中私有化替代方案不公平性的批评。然而，与分散治理（包括基于社区的自然资源管理）将带来更高成效的预期相悖，批评者认为，精英俘获机会的增加已普遍与项目失败联系在一起。关于领导力、庇护和精英俘获的这一理论争议概述，是本期一个主题板块的一部分，该板块对当前众多政策文献中的假设提出了挑战。它介绍了一系列印度尼西亚案例研究，这些研究考察了地方领导人和精英的行为，并试图从结构角度解释这些关键人物的挪用行为（“精英俘获”）以及被拉拢的精英（“被俘获的精英”）。这些研究探讨了最有可能促进各类地方利益有效参与，以实现更好的地方自然资源治理的结构因素和共同治理实践。
