dc.titleAustralian forest governance: A comparison of two certification schemesen
dcterms.abstractConflict over how forests should be managed has been a perennial feature of Australian environmental policy. In the early 2000s, these conflicts spilled over into a �certification war� between two international forest certification standards � the Australian Forestry Standard, championed by industry and government, and the Forest Stewardship Council, championed by environmental civil society organisations. A key issue at stake in Australia's certification war is how similar or different the two schemes are. Building on the extensive literature on �new governance�, this article undertakes a systematic comparative analysis of the two schemes utilising a three-dimensional governance framework. The comparison reveals significant differences in the political, institutional and regulatory arrangements employed by each scheme.en
