“…On the other hand, the environmental components of the programs also had more indirect positive outcomes. In Peru, the deforestation monitoring capacity has been strengthened through the activities of Programa Bosques [104,105]. Likewise, the program has improved the cooperation of MINAM with provincial governments on environmental issues.…”

Command-and-control policies are often criticized as insufficient to tackle tropical deforestation. Over the past two decades, both academics and policy-makers have promoted incentive-based policies, notably REDD+ (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation), as attractive alternatives to curb forest loss, while also potentially contributing to the poverty reduction of forest-dwelling populations. Governments have been the driving force behind the largest incentive-based forest conservation programs in Latin America. Many science-based recommendations on how to design effective incentive-based policies have, however, not found much resonance within policy circles. To understand the gap between recommendations and practice, it is important to analyze how these schemes are designed towards achieving environmental and non-environmental outcomes. To this end, we analyzed the comprehensive history of governance dynamics behind two government-led incentive schemes in Ecuador and Peru. We found that electoral interests and bureaucratic politics exerted pressure on policy design teams, which eventually traded off long-term societal efficiency concerns against short-term administrative goals. Priority was often given to non-environmental concerns, due to perceptions of political feasibility, the influence of non-environmental government agencies, and beliefs in particular government roles or public response. These findings are especially relevant for scholars studying the design, implementation and impacts of incentive-based conservation policies, and for practitioners aiming to enhance policy efficiency.

“…This ideational concept also contains a load of values and beliefs, all of which are carried out through discourse (Di Gregorio et al, 2017). The Theory of Discursive Institutionalism argues that the behavior of actors is greatly influenced by how the actors interpret the world around them (Ochieng et al, 2016). In the discourse of Institutional Discursive, actors, or in the term of Schmidt called "agents", are understood as sentient agents who produce and consider ideas through discursive communication interactions that lead to collective action (Schmidt, 2017a;Schmidt, 2012).…”

This article investigates power relations in Intra-Party Democracy in the study of organizing political parties. Intra-Party Democracy refers to the notion of formal political institutions, whereas the political process more often occurs informally, personally, multi-vector which involves multi actors, multi political resources and power relations no longer come from formal institutional sources but any direction and beyond the reach of formal institutions. Using the literature review method, this article enhances the explanation of Intra-Party Democracy by presenting the perspective of Discursive Institutionalism as an analytical framework that bridges multi-vector power relations that occur in organizing political parties. Discursive Institutionalism explores the actors' discursive capabilities, namely coordinative discourse and communicative discourse in the discursive process in organizing political parties.

“…ФАО і її країнами-членами для оцінки площі лісів і їх динаміки здійснюється (FAO 2012) глобальне обстеження з використанням дистанційного зондування [4]. Сучасні інструменти і методи, такі як супутникові зображення і автоматичний аналіз зображень, національні кадастри, оцінка парникових газів, дають можливість підвищити ефективність моніторингу землекористування [10]. За пропозиціями [11] бажано, щоб ЄЕК/ФАО ООН розробила Міжнародний стандарт найважливіших показників таксації лісових екосистем і створення регіонального моніторингу для організованого і широкомасштабного його впровадження, поточного контролю й інформації громадськості про стан лісів/лісових екосистем, їх впливу на довкілля.…”
