- Lessons from Canadian and European Experience

2Overview The Future of NFPs
- Internationalization, governance and steering
- NFPs as governance frameworks for SFM
- Both adoption and shape of NFP depends on
- Relationship of private and public sector
governance capacities - Canada a NFP in a non-European context
- Internationalization (and europeanization)
cause convergence domestic factors cause
divergence

3Internationalization, Governance and Steering
- Governance arguments
- Domestic policy escapes government control in era
of internationalization - The hollow state private actors with public
coordination - Governance challenges
- Democratic governments still responsible for
policy outcomes - How to steer rather than row

4NFPs as Governance Frameworks for SFM
- Challenges of the SFM idea
- Internationalization of SFM
- The weak regime IPF/IFF Action Plan
- Europeanization MCPFE, EU
- Convergence without Europeanization?

11Canada Internationalization Without
Europeanization
- Overview of Canadian forest law and policy
- Federal-Provincial division of powers favours the
provinces - Provincial convergence on long-term tenures with
management requirements - Integrated resource management really timber
management under constraints

12The Difficult Transition
- Closed policy-networks form around implementation
of long-term tenures - Resistant to admitting new ideas and new actors
- When issues are framed as technical ones
- Export dependency makes Canada vulnerable to
internationalization - No lack of campaignable issues to work on

14The Failure of Reregulation
- First response to internationalization is
reregulation - BC Forest Practices Code
- Ontario Crown Forest Sustainability Act
- Reregulation fails
- Too expensive
- Requires constant pressure from INGOs
15The Fifth NFSS as a Governance Framework
- Various next generation initiatives
- Certification
- Results-based Code in BC
- Incentives for experimentation and alternative
silviculture - Need a governance framework
- Change in focus of NFSS
- from rhetorical NFP to emphasis on information
and audit

16The Future of NFPsWhat Can We Expect?
- Convergence and divergence in different regional
settings - Instrument choice
- Focus on the right instrument mix
- Auditing information
- Implementation
- A powerful force for divergence
- The death of the state?
