Governing through markets
2004
Cashore, Benjamin William | Auld, Graeme | Newsom, Deanna
"In recent years a startling policy innovation has emerged within global and domestic environmental governance: certification systems that promote socially responsible business practices by turning to the market, rather than the state, for rule-making authority. This book documents five cases in which the Forest Stewardship Council, a forest certification program backed by leading environmental groups, has competed with industry and landowner-sponsored certification systems for legitimacy."
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]"The authors compare the politics behind forest certification in British Columbia, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. They reflect on why there are differences regionally; they discuss the impact the Forest Stewardship Council has had on certification programs initiated by forest company and forest owner associations; and they assess the ability of private forest certification to address global forest deterioration."--Jacket.
