Abstract
This article discusses the research relevance of benefit sharing and
its implications for natural resource policy research in developing countries. It
argues that the research challenge is how to improve understanding of benefit
sharing policies by way of identifying the basic principles which underlie these policies. While benefit sharing is to a large extent context dependent, the central question we raise is whether we can identify a set of principles to enable one to describe, explain, understand and predict outcomes in relevant policy settings.
