| is.evaluation.notes | The key issue is not simply whether firms will support these certification systems, but which ones they will support – ones initiated by industry that tend to be more flexible and give greater voice to industry actors, or ones in which environmental and social groups had a great role in designing their procedures and policies. And understanding whether and how these systems might address matters of concern to global civil society means tracing this competition and the certification standards that emerge (Cashore et al., 2004). The purpose of this paper is to systematically assess the nature of this competition in the US forest sector. We choose forestry because it is arguably the most advanced case of forest certification globally.' | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | These “non-state market driven” governance regimes (Cashore, 2002) locate their authority not from the state, but from the domestic and global marketplace. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | the influence of the FSC on sustainable forest management is not simply through its own rule development, but also on the impact it has had on the way competing programs develop their decision making processes and their procedural and substantive rules. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | A key finding of this project is that the competition for “legitimacy” does not just affect which certification program comes to be accepted by forest companies and landowners, but also the way each program changes from its original conception in order to earn broader support along the market's supply chain. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | the FSC already appears to face different challenges in keeping its core membership satisfied as it attempts a variety of conforming techniques to become more than a niche player for the US certification market. | |
