Winner of the International Studies Association's Harold and
Margaret Sprout Award 2008 for the best book on international
environmental problems. This pioneering study examines the impacts
of neoliberal global governance on forests and provides an
exhaustive overview of international forest politics:
Intergovernmental Panel on Forests World Commission on Forests and
Sustainable Development Intergovernmental Forum on Forests United
Nations Forum on Forests Forest Certification New policies to
address illegal logging World Bank's forests strategy Convention on
Biological Diversity - and other international forest-related
processes The book is an essential reference for students of global
environmental politics and required reading for forest policy
makers. It concludes by arguing for a democratization of global
governance and a fundamental restructuring of the regulatory
environment so that final decision making authority is restored to
the local level. Driven by concern at what forest loss means for
communities and future generations, this is a book that stands to
make a difference.
