This important work undertakes a detailed comparative analysis of Forest Stewradship Council environmental standards, and their implications for global governance and regulatory theory.

Setting the Standard chronicles the emergence and implicationsof an ambitious experiment in civil-society-led global governance: theForest Stewardship Council. Drawing on a pioneering case study of thisnegotiation process, this book explores the challenges associated withimplementing the FSC's global vision on the ground.
