Abstract
This thesis has reviewed the evolution of the concept of forests from a source of livelihood, to agricultural space, to the point of being the predominant impetus of progressing industrialization, and finally to a multi-functional concept as it is known—however, not always perceived—today. Throughout this evolution, forests prove to be a manifest development factor, with the forest utilization patterns interlinked with the status of development, and the forest conservation patterns interlinked with the decline in possible forest uses.

Notes
- 1.
Note that the term “cluster” is not used as the technical term as manifested by Konrad von Moltke in von Moltke (2001), but simply to describe the uncoordinated and fragmented collectivity of instruments relating—directly or indirectly—to forests. It is precisely not employed to describe a concerted, homogenous system.

As well as within the instruments of the agenda-setting and institution building processes elaborated on in Chap. 3.
