Abstract
This is an appropriate time to consider the future of forestry in the Ukraine since economic reforms are perhaps at their most bdefining crossroad since winning independence from the Soviet Union 12 years agoQ (Feduschak, 2003, see also Siedenberg and Hoffman, 1999), and many of Ukraine’s neighbours have recently (May 2004) joined an expanded European Union. Polyakov and Sydor’s (2004, hereafter P&S) comments on our earlier paper (Nijnik and van Kooten, 2000) provide an interesting perspective on the issue of reform as it applies to forestry. In our response to their comments, we consider first the most important point made by P&S, and the one with which we take the greatest issue, namely, their stance that Ukraine’s forests are better protected under a Sovietstyle command and control system than under a market system. We then consider more minor points of disagreement and end with some concluding observations.
