Setting the Standard chronicles the emergence and implicationsof an ambitious experiment in civil-society-led global governance: theForest Stewardship Council. Drawing on a pioneering case study of thisnegotiation process, this book explores the challenges associated withimplementing the FSC's global vision on the ground. Indeed, theestablishment of an FSC standard for British Columbia was achieved onlyafter difficult and protracted negotiations at the regional, national,and global levels. This important work also undertakes a detailedcomparative analysis of FSC standards and standard-setting processeselsewhere and grapples with the broader implications for globalgovernance and regulatory theory.
