Indonesia contains some of Asia‘s most biodiverse and threatened forests. The challenges result from both long-term management problems and the political, social, and economic turmoil of the past few years. The contributors to Which Way Forward? explore recent events in Indonesia, while focusing on what can be done differently to counter the destruction of forests due to asset-stripping, corruption, and the absence of government authority. Contributors to the book include anthropologists, economists, foresters, geographers, human ecologists, and policy analysts. Their concerns include the effects of government policies on people living in forests, the impact of the economic crisis on small farmers, links between corporate debt and the forest sector, and the fires of the late 1990s. By analyzing the nation‘s dramatic circumstances, they hope to demonstrate how Indonesia as well as other developing countries might handle their challenges to protect biodiversity and other resources, meet human needs, and deal with political change. The book includes an afterword by Emil Salim, former Indonesian Minister of State for Population and the Environment and former president of the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Programme. A copublication of Resources for the Future and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Institute for Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS).

Over recent decades, decentralization has emerged as a key Public Sector Reform strategy in a wide variety of international contexts. Yet, despite its emergence as a ubiquitous activity that cuts across disciplinary lines in international development, decentralization is understood and applied in many different ways by parties acting from contrary perspectives. This book offers a fascinating insight into theory and practice surrounding decentralization activities in the Public Sectors of developing and transitional countries. In drawing on the expertise of established scholars, the book explores the contexts, achievements, progress and challenges of decentralization and local governance. Notably, the contributions contained in this book are genuinely international in nature; the chapters explore aspects of decentralization and local governance in contexts as diverse as Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Tanzania, Uganda, and Viet Nam. In summary, by examining the subject of decentralization with reference to specific developing and transitional Public Sector contexts in which it has been practiced, this book offers an excellent contribution towards a better understanding of the theory and practice of decentralization and local governance in international settings. This book was published as a special double issue of the International Journal of Public Administration.

Dollery (economics, U. of New England, Australia) and Wallis (economics, Otago U., New Zealand) attempt to explain local policy formation and outcomes from a variety of economic models, including the theory of fiscal federalism, the market failure paradigm, and the "new institutional economics." Particularly referring to local government reforms in the U.K. and New Zealand, the authors look at the extent to which minimalist and activist approaches to matching local functions to local capacity can be related to the different styles of policy leadership that may be required to advance reform. In contrast to many of their colleagues, they stress the uses of social capital to be used by localities to exploit comparative institutional advantage. c. Book News Inc.

Local governance in action through a case study of the Cork City Development Board (CCDB) is the research area of this thesis. The thesis facilitates discussion on the partnership approach to Irish local governance and investigates if it contributes to good local governance. The research examines what constitutes good local governance in Ireland by applying contemporary theories of local governance to the data. Stokerʼs (1996) model of good local governance is a useful analytical tool which has provided insight into the development board. Stokerʼs model focuses on three principles 1. An open system of governance. 2. A capacity for deliberation. 3. A capacity to act. The research concludes that CCDB observes some, but not all, of the openness criteria and capacity for deliberation elements of Stokerʼs (1996) model of good local governance. The emphasis on consensus dilutes the capacity for deliberation. The extent to which CCDB complies with the criteria for an open system of governance also impacts on opportunities for deliberation. The research data indicates that CCDB complies with the four criteria for a capacity to act as outlined in Stokerʼs (1996) model. However, the success of the integrated strategy depends on the availability of adequate funding and whether or not national policy changes during the implementation phase of the integrated strategy. The research has practical application through its examination of CCDB. It is anticipated that these insights and findings will be considered/utilised by CCDB. While the methodology has centred on one case study, the findings may be generalised in a useful way for other city/county development boards in Ireland and partnership models in other jurisdictions, thus striving to add to the body of knowledge concerning local governance. It is suggested that an implementation and evaluation principle could be added to the model for further use as there is a key difference between having a capacity to act and actually taking action.
