‘ Building national capacity for forest governance reform : The role of institutions

چکیده
Governance is a central concern of forest policy development, and the prospect of governance reform provides a major justification for donor interest in the forest sector. This paper addresses the governance implications of recent initiatives in the sector, particularly in the area of ‘forest law enforcement, governance and trade’ (FLEGT). The focus is on institutional dimensions, in terms of the principles and rules that structure the reforms, and the state and non-state actors who are involved in developing and implementing them.

متن کاملGovernance, Government, and the Search for New Provider Models
