LA - English PP - Cham PB - Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer YR - 2015 ED - 1st ed. 2015. UL - http://discoverylib.upm.edu.my/discovery/Record/978-3-319-14950-9 AB - This book investigates the potential need for an international convention on forests and establishes a multifunctional concept of forests as a cornerstone for international forest regulation. Accordingly, it examines a variety of international instruments pertaining directly or indirectly to forests and explores their entangled, fragmented nature. While contending that the lack of consistency in international law impedes the development of a stand-alone international forest convention, at the same time it argues that the lessons learned from fragmentation as well as from the history of forest discourse on the international level open up new options for the regulation of forests in international law, based on (new) concepts of coordination and cooperation.
