About this title

Synopsis

This book examines the economic implications for sustainable forest management of globalisation and related structural changes in the forest sector of the United States. Globalisation has accelerated structural change in the U.S. forest sector, favoured survival of larger and more capital-intensive enterprises, and altered historical patterns of resource use. These changes reflect deep impacts on the economic, social, and environmental context of forest management in the U.S., suggesting that more in-depth strategic monitoring and analysis of economic globalisation is warranted in planning sustainable forest management policies for the future.
