These countries present a unique laboratory for the analysis of economic, social and political change, having traversed armed conflicts, dramatic economic and political changes, and EU pre-accession processes involving deep institutional reform. They have also endured the Eurozone crisis, which has led to high levels of unemployment, wide fiscal gaps and dangerously high levels of indebtedness. Observing the quarter century-long transition from socialism to capitalism through the prism of decentralisation sheds new light on studying the political economy of the region and the current status of the individual countries in terms of economic development and their EU integration progress. The contributors enrich the wider literature on fiscal decentralisation in transition countries by exploring several broad questions on democratisation, the political economy of post-communist transition, the role of external actors in policy transfer and the issue of financial stability in the post-crisis period.

Accordingly, it examines a variety of international instruments pertaining directly or indirectly to forests and explores their entangled, fragmented nature. While contending that the lack of consistency in international law impedes the development of a stand-alone international forest convention, at the same time it argues that the lessons learned from fragmentation as well as from the history of forest discourse on the international level open up new options for the regulation of forests in international law, based on (new) concepts of coordination and cooperation. 606 $aEnvironmental law, International 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aForest management 606 $aInternational Environmental Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19070 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 606 $aForestry Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22016 615 0$aEnvironmental law, International. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aForest management. 615 14$aInternational Environmental Law. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 615 24$aForestry Management. 676 $a340 676 $a344.046 676 $a344046 676 $a36370561 676 $a634.92 700 $aEikermann$b Anja$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01229879 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484963303321 996 $aForests in International Law$92854882 997 $aUNINA
