Abstract

This study focuses on the formation process of forest owners' organizations in Finland from around its independence to the present day, and investigates how the country has shared responsibility between public and private sector. In particular, the core of my argument is the contrast of two forest owner cooperatives with distinct characteristics, namely the Forest Management Association (MHY) that has been frequently referenced in the Japanese Forest and Forestry Revitalization Plans, and Metsaliitto that is a mega forestry cooperative and a global corporation. This contrast can be incorporated into the theories of Forest Owners' Cooperative theories in Japan. That is 1) the public nature of the MHYs as land management organizations are re-questioned in the midst of recent administrative and fiscal reform, and 2) the nature of Metsaliitto is forced to change from restricted capital as a forest owner cooperative to functional capital as a large-scale forest industry. Finally, 3) this discussion here could shed new light on responsibility-sharing arguments between public and private sector in Japanese Forest Owners' Cooperative.
