Description:
With the assistance of state foresters and federal agency executives, an evaluation was made of federal and state government roles and responsibilities focused nonfederal forests in the United States. The evaluation involved an inventory of legally (and administratively) defined federal roles, identification of federal programs supporting accomplishment of such roles, and assessment of the appropriateness of these roles and the effectiveness of supporting programs. Legal specification of federal roles occurs in myriad laws, rules, and planning documents, while nearly 190 federal programs represent actual expressions of federal roles.

Effective decentralization requires the construction of accountable institutions at all levels of government and a secure domain of autonomous decision making at the local level. ... Read more

Product Description
Policy issues relating to forestry have been the subject ofmuch debate in recent years, and many countries and internationalagencies have recently, or are currently in the process, of revisingtheir policies for forestry.
