To set the stage for this workshop on research methodology, this paper provides a sketch of the relationships among biophysical, socioeconomic, and policy issues in the Global Initiative on Alternatives to Slash-and-Burn (ASB) and the working hypotheses to be refined and explored through research in Indonesia, The paper is a sketch for two reasons. First, time for presentation is short. To alleviate this constraint, a form is attached for participants to request additional material relevant to ASB. Second, and more fundamentally, all of us will be working together to fill in the details of this picture as we collaborate on ASB research.
