| Description: |
'Governing Through Markets' examines the emergence of market-orientated good practise codes in the forestry industry. A new certification scheme, the Forestry Stewardship Council, competes with industry and government backed regulations and has the support of leading environmental groups. |
| Synopsis: |
In recent years a startling policy innovation has emerged within global and domestic environmental governance: certification systems that promote socially responsible business practices by turning to the market, rather than the state, for rule-making authority. This book documents five cases in which the Forest Stewardship Council, a forest certification program backed by leading environmental groups, has competed with industry and landowner-sponsored certification systems for legitimacy. The authors compare the politics behind forest certification in five countries. They reflect on why there are differences regionally, discuss the impact the Forest Stewardship Council has had on other certification programs, and assess the ability of private forest certification to address global forest deterioration. |
