"Market globalization and the globalization of environmental concerns have spurred demand for greater international accountability for forest stewardship. In response, a range of multi-lateral governmental and non-governmental initiatives have emerged to redefine the rules of global trade, and demand verification of the legally and/or sustainability of forest products originating from within and outside national boundaries." "At the same time, there is a lack of transparency and shared understanding about the environmental forest policies that already exist within the world's leading forest-producing and consuming countries. The result is that many stakeholders have developed perceptions about a country's regulatory environment that are not consistent with what is actually taking place. This book provides a uniquely detailed and systematic comparison of environmental forest policies and enforcement in 20 countries worldwide, covering developed, transitional and developing economies. The goal is to enhance global policy learning and promote well-informed and precisely tuned policy solutions."--BOOK JACKET.
