This book provides a state-of-the-art overview covering distinct and relevant aspects of forest policy processes in Europe, presenting a fresh perspective on different analytical approaches, theories, and frameworks.
In the past decade, there has been a profound increase in the world's understanding of and concern about the forest sector of the developing world. A wide range of analyses and policy research has shed light on the determinants of the effective demand for land and wood (the cause of deforestation), the importance of tenure arrangements, and the links between government policies and the forest sector.

This publication presents a comprehensive analysis of the rights-based agenda in forestry, connecting it with existing work on tenure reform, governance rights and human rights. The attention to rights in forestry differs from 'rights-based approaches' in international development and other natural resource fields in critical ways. Above all, redistribution is a central demand of activists in forestry, but not in other fields.
This comprehensive review of forest biological diversity is an important contribution to the international debate on conservation and sustainable use of forest biodiversity. The review summarizes important scientific assessments and monitoring programmes of forest biological diversity, including broad-scale information about forest loss and studies on the effects of this loss to ecosystem functioning and consequently to ecosystem services.
