Abstract

This paper evaluates the ability of the National Forest Strategy to meet the challenges of a newly internationalized forest policy environment while preserving the strengths of a decentralized national system of forest policy formulation and implementation. It outlines the challenges to forest governance in Canada in the 21st century, notably the globalized marketplace and the consolidation, increasing sophistication and international linkages of new actors in forest policymaking. Canada's NFS is compared with the development of National Forest Programs in Europe in order to assess Canada's progress in these areas compared to that of other jurisdictions. Key words: forest policy, forest governance, National Forest Strategy, National Forest Programs, internationalization
