内容説明

The contributors to this collection bring a wide range of perspectives to their discussion of forestry and forest policy analysis. The authors, who come from Canada, the US and Sweden, discuss such issues as timber supply, property rights, productivity and technical change, social impacts, environment and climate change, multiple-use forestry, trade in forest products and Third World forestry. Within the last few decades, it has become increasingly apparent that forests and their wealth of resources bear directly upon many of the most pressing social, economic, and environmental concerns of our time. This volume draws together forty of the foremost experts in forest policy to address the diverse range of issues which characterize the intimate interrelationship between forests and humankind. These issues include the regional and global environment, timber supply, competitiveness and international trade, social impacts, multiple and competing resource use, and the Third World. This is a comprehensive and timely book that sheds light on some of the fundamental issues concerning forestry and forestry policy. "Peter N. Nemetz is an associate professor in the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration at the University of British Columbia.".
