| is.evaluation.notes | This study is strongly biased and show a fundamental misconception. The authors implicitly consider that FSC is capable of halting deforestation and influence governance globally. That is, they do not consider the context of forest management for the extraction of timber. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | The paper found that the contribution of certification to halting deforestation presently is limited partially due to the stuck-at-the-bottom problem (ie the fact that certification occurs only from a certain level of development onwards) and its market-driven nature. However, the paper also showed that certification offers significant potential which is illustrated by countries with very high levels of FSC-FM certified forests. The paper also explored the macro-impact of certification on the development of sound governance institutions with a specific focus on rule of law. The paper found no relationship indicating that the presence of governance institutions which promote the rule of law government effectiveness or regulatory quality is not a precondition for FSC FM certification in a given country. | |
