Abstract

AbstractHow might forest institutions be designed to encourage long-term and collective natural resource management, while also addressing the needs of local people? This chapter sheds light on this question by reviewing insights of ‘good forest governance’ scholarship, with a focus on ongoing developments in Southeast Asia. It is argued that building enduring, effective forest management responsive to the needs of local communities requires greater focus on the role of two key governance concepts: institutional intersection and policy learning. From this review, the chapter extrapolates key findings for practitioners seeking to promote ‘good forest governance’.KeywordsForest governanceForest policyNetworksInternational regimesNon-state governanceDecentralisationInstitutional intersectionPolicy learningLocal communities
