    Forest policy design

    Problems (salient issues)

    Forest policy goals (NFP 2007): Forest policy tools:

    Regulative tools prevail (e.g. obligatory forest management

    planning for all forests, obligatory tree marking for logging) Economic tools less important (e.g. subsidise for

    silviculture aprox. 1 /ha/year on average)

    Informational tools: The most important provider is public forest service

    Post-transitional policy making: path dependency uncertainty

    Existence of comprehensive scientific forest policy

    analysis

    Scientific forest policy analysis in small countries (Hogl, Pregernig2002)

    High degree of narrowness (a small number oforganizations and persons doing research )

    Small number of costumer

    Policy analysis/research as tool in politics (instrumentalapproach - e.g. research on forest owners association)

    Great impact of forest policy paradigm

    Lack of scientific pluralism

    Europe 2000-2004)

    Cool (COmpeting uses Of forest Land - ongoing)

    National projects Efficiency of forest policy tools

    New post-transition forestry institutions Forest policy analysis as part of projects from other

    research areas (e.g. forest conversion)

    Projects of undergraduate and graduate students
