Abstract
How might forest institutions be designed to encourage long-term and collective natural resource management, while also addressing the needs of local people? This chapter sheds light on this question by reviewing insights of ‘good forest governance’ scholarship, with a focus on ongoing developments in Southeast Asia. It is argued that building enduring, effective forest management responsive to the needs of local communities requires greater focus on the role of two key governance concepts: institutional intersection and policy learning. From this review, the chapter extrapolates key findings for practitioners seeking to promote ‘good forest governance’.

The World Bank valued the extreme poverty line at US$ 1.25 a day in 2005 prices (World Bank 2010).
- 2.
- 3.
The ‘Worldwide Governance Indicators’ (WGI) project, supported by the World Bank, measures the following six dimensions of governance: voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law and control of corruption (Kaufmann et al. 2010).
- 4.
Multi-level governance focuses on the interplay or intersection of institutions throughout all administrative scales (Young 2002).
- 5.
REDD (‘reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries’) was later expanded to REDD+.
- 6.
The three pillars are: Political-Security Community, Economic Community and Socio-Cultural Community.
- 7.
The nine processes are: C&I of the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO), the Pan-European process through the Ministerial Conference for the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE), the Montreal Process for temperate and boreal forests, the African Timber Organization’s C&I, the Dry-Zone Africa Process, the Tarapoto Process for the Amazon region, the Lepaterique Process for Central America, as well as C&I processes in the Near East and on Dry Forests in Asia (FAO 2006b). In the case of ITTO, it is an international process, not regional.
- 8.
The seven elements are: extent of forest resources, biological diversity, forest health and vitality, productive functions of forest resources, protective functions of forest resources, socio-economic functions, legal, policy and institutional framework.
