This makes forests a fundamental part of the national and rural economy. Each year however, forest stands across Europe are damaged by wind, which has prompted several analyses on wind interactions with forests, and what alternatives there are to mitigate storm damage.

  • Sweden and Ecological Governance
    lundqvist jkt 1/20/04 11:52 AM Page 1 ISSUES IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS Sweden is seen as a forerunner in environmental and ecological policy. Sweden andecologicalgovernance Sweden and ecological governance is about policies and strategies for Sweden and ecologically rational governance, and uses the Swedish case study to ask whether or not it is possible to move from a traditional environmental ecological governance policy to a broad, integrated pursuit of sustainable development, as illustrated through the ‘Sustainable Sweden’ programme. Straddling the fence The study begins by looking at the spatial dimensions of ecological governance, and goes on to consider the integration and effectiveness of sustainable development policies. It analyses the tension between democracy and sustainable development, which has a broader relevance beyond the Swedish model, to other nation states as well as the European Union as a whole. In this book the author offers the latest word in advanced implementation of sustainable development by a front-runner in environmental and ecological policy. It will be useful for students of environmental politics and sustainable development researchers. Lennart J.
