Finding the right mix of \"command and\u003cbr\u003e control\" in forest restoration vs. \"environmental governance\", which includes non-state actors, \u003cbr\u003e regulatory flexibility, and market based instruments is at the heart of these challenges. This\u003cbr\u003e Special Issue attempts at shedding light on these challenges with case studies from South and\u003cbr\u003e Central America, Africa, and Asia. Some provide within-country as well as cross-country\u003cbr\u003e comparisons. A few others present case studies at the household level. Both policy and legal\u003cbr\u003e constraints towards implementing forest restoration are also discussed as a function of top\u003cbr\u003e down vs. bottom up approaches. The effectiveness of payments for environmental services is\u003cbr\u003e examined as catalyzers of forest restoration initiatives. Finally, two papers deal with the legal\u003cbr\u003e and policy constraints in making restoration through natural regeneration a viable and costeffective\u003cbr\u003e tool. In the face of renewed perspectives for expanding forest restoration programs\u003cbr\u003e globally, governance issues will likely play a key role in eventually determining success. As\u003cbr\u003e many of the papers in this Special Issue suggest, the fate of forest restoration outcomes is, \u003cbr\u003e more often than not, associated with overall governance challenges, some of which are often\u003cbr\u003e overlooked particularly across multiple scales\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960246788293,"sku":"9783038420439","price":94.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/7zbH_qp1ZQ9783038420439.webp?v=1773442451","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/governing-forest-restoration-social-environmental-and-institutional-dimensions-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
