| is.evaluation.quotes | The data for this study were obtained through interviews with key persons in the Swedish forest certification processes, including environmental organizations, forestry interest organizations, forest companies, and government agencies. In addition, I carried out a document study (i.e., certification standards, public policy documents, press releases, and newspaper articles) and reviewed other studies of forest certification and forest politics in Sweden and elsewhere. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | It is interesting that competition between non–state authorities may help resolve standardization dilemmas and balance different standard- setting ideals. Rather than a “race to the top” or a “race to the bottom,” the FSC and PEFC rivalry in Sweden has resulted in some cross fertilization and convergence of the two schemes. The FSC has responded by adjusting rules to better accommodate the needs of business; the PEFC has changed upward in an effort to boost credibility in the marketplace. These dynamics have been observed not only in Sweden but in a number of developed countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States (Cashore et al., 2004). | |
