The book can be seen as divided into three parts, discussing respectively the development of forests and forest governance, empirical case studies on REDD, and the future prospects for REDD. Three chapters are devoted to forests and forest governance, covering topics such as forest transition, deforestation and its drivers, forest policies and related organizations and institutions, and the emergence of REDD given these contexts. Four country-level case studies on Vietnam, Indonesia, Cameroon, and Peru and a comparative analysis of these country analyses are included. Finally, there are two summarizing chapters – one analysing the potential impacts of REDD on the global scale regarding deforestation, economic effects, and leakage, and the other linking back to the initial chapters, discussing the consequences for forest governance, including the prospects of REDD succeeding. As the book has a broad orientation it can be used for an in-depth evaluation of the challenges REDD implies for forest policy and the policies of other relevant sectors at various levels – from local to global. It can also be used as a book of reference regarding forest institutions, organizations, and policies.
