Sustainable Plantation Forestry
This book discusses sustainable forest management from the perspectives of sociology, anthropology, politics, economics and policy. It examines the roles of governments, private sectors, NGOs, academics and local communities in implementing sustainable plantation forestry, which aims to supply timber for the forestry industry while at the same time reducing global warming. The book also explores the debates on sustainable forest management practices in several countries, and examines the effects of political ecology on plantation forestry as well as the impact of climate change and conservation programs. By analyzing a number of interrelated issues, it offers a valuable resource for all governments, private companies, practitioners, NGOs, academics and students studying forest management and political ecology from a social sciences perspective.

People and Forest — Policy and Local Reality in Southeast Asia, the Russian Far East, and Japan
leading to an overall decrease in the world's forest cover. The forests of Asia, in particular, have been strongly impacted. A number of initiatives have suggested forest policy reforms, and the need for the sustainable management of forests has been widely recognized and encouraged. But because implementation of reforms at the local level has been insufficient, it is imperative that local people begin to effectively participate in forest planning and management as well as in protected-area management. The Forest Conservation Project, launched in April 1998 by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), has carried out research activities on forest strategies, including policy analysis and on-site surveys. This book gives an overview of the project's research activities in its first three-year phase (April1998-March 2001). Since viable forest strategies work best when based on the involvement of local people, this report is addressed to stakeholders in the communities of the relevant countries, including local people and authorities, community-based organizations, experts, national agencies, and international institutions.

The essays in this volume focus on decoloniality in empire, family, and mission, written from historical, dogmatic, social scientific, and liturgical perspectives.
Environmental Governance in Indonesia
This open access book presents the state-of-the-art environmental governance research and practices in Indonesia. It offers a wide scope, covering different sectors (e.g., forestry, mining) and geographical landscapes (e.g., inland and coastal areas).

It is also our ambition to incorporate more empirical knowledge from local contexts to indicate research gaps and future directions for environmental governance research agenda t...

Politik Ekologi
Konsep “Politik Ekologi” yang digunakan dalam menganalisis pengelolaan taman nasional ialah menekankan peran stakeholders baik pelaku langsung maupun tidak langsaung. Misalnya, pelaku langsung melibatkan pemerintah pusat (Kementrian Kehutanan/Dirjen PHKA-Balai Taman Nasional di daerah), Dinas kehutanan Provinsi dan Kabupaten. Perdebatan kewenangan “pengelolaan taman nasional” di berbagai daerah manjadi isu sentral dalam era Otonomi Daerah (Otda) antara pemerintah pusat dan pemerintah daerah. Dua buku, baik pemerintah daerah maupun pusat mempunyai argumentasi masing-masing. Sebaliknya, pelaku tidak langsung, yakni peran akademisi, lembaga swadaya masyarakat (LSM) baik domestik dan int...
Pengelolaan Hutan Lestari
"Di balik upaya mewujudkan pengelolaan hutan lestari terdapat proses-proses partisipasi, kolaborasi, dan konflik. Proses tersebut menjadi tanda sekaligus fokus intervensi kebijakan pengelolaan hutan yang diperlukan, yang biasanya justru diabaikan oleh sebagian pemangku kepentingan. Kasus-kasus pengelolaan hutan di berbagai daerah Nusantara yang dikupas dalam buku ini menjadi argument penting bagaimana seharusnya kebijakan pengelolaan hutan ditetapkan dan dijalankan. Oleh karena itu, buku ini perlu dibaca para pengambil kebijakan, praktisi, peneliti, mahasiswa, dan masyarakat yang mempunyai perhatian pada kelestarian hutan." (Prof. Dr. Hariadi Kartodihardjo-Guru Besar Kehutanan-Fakultas Kehutanan, Institute Pertanian Bogor (IPB))
