Abstract
In 2008, the Swiss federal forest policy was mainly characterized by the failure to amend the Swiss federal law on forests, by the introduction of a new perequation system and by the launching of a new program with the aim to support a better use of Swiss timber. From a broader perspective, many political processes with impacts on forests can be observed in other policy fields. Important projects and processes have been put on the political agenda in the fields of spatial planning, climate policy, environmental policy, biodiversity and regional development policy. In most of these policy formulation and implementation processes, elements of a new form of political steering, called governance, can be observed.
