Abstract

A shift from government to governance in the approaches to forest policy formulation and related decision-making procedures is taking place at global level. Policy-makers and other actors traditionally involved in forestry-related decision-making have to tackle and apply new concepts and tools, like public participation, networking and governance mechanisms. These issues are taken into consideration in the paper, using a research approach based on six explicatory–exploratory case studies in Italy. New ideas and tools are slowly entering the Italian forest policy arena as a result of international driving forces like the global dialogue on forests and the growing demand for responsible behaviour and transparency.
