abstract |
This chapter explains the deforestation as an international political issue using
public goods theory. It discusses the international forest politics, beginning with
the forest negotiations at 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development
in Rio, before tracking the aftermath of the Rio process, which has seen the establishment
of international forest bodies within the United Nations system. The chapter examines
the Global forest policy has developed not according to any rational design, but incrementally
across several international institutions. It also examines that international forest
policy has been strongly guided by neoliberalism, which favors voluntary action and
business-led, market-based initiatives, while eschewing regulation and a strong role
for the state. The chapter describes the World Trade Organization (WTO) has served
as a powerful driver in expansion of global neoliberalism, providing neoliberal principles
with a political and legal force that environmental objectives lack in global governance.
International forest policy has been constructed so as not to fall foul of the WTO. |
