“…As the American case failed in the course of going through various dispute settlement mechanisms, the response of the U S government was to seek solutions outside of NAFTA -that is, through a negotiated settlement between the Canadian and US governments (Gagne, 2003). The long-term goal of Canadian governments in pursuing formalized trade agreements with the United States had been institutionalization of the dispute settlement mechanisms, which would have the effect of depoliticizing disputes.…”

RésuméCet article vise à brosser un portrait de l’évolution des politiques et des relations commerciales canado-américaines en replaçant au cœur de l'analyse la variable du « nationalisme économique ». Il s'appuie sur l'approche « nationaliste » en économie politique internationale, qui permet de comprendre tant le protectionnisme que la libéralisation et surtout, le passage de l'un à l'autre ou la combinaison des deux. Le nationalisme économique constitue une tendance lourde des relations commerciales canado-américaines, qui auront été caractérisées depuis 1867 et au-delà par une tension continuelle entre protectionnisme et libéralisation.

“…Nilai tegakan dari lelang tegakan tetap dianggap sebagai ukuran kelangkaan yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan nilai tegakan yang diturunkan dari harga kayu bulat atau dari harga produk lainnya yang terbuat dari kayu (Brown & Field 1978). Stumpage price pernah menyebabkan perselisihan yang memakan waktu panjang antara Amerika Serikat dan Kanada dalam hal perdagangan softwood (Boyd & Krutilla 1987;Gagné 2003;Biggs et al 2006;Carmody 2006). Kanada dituduh menerapkan subsidi terselubung pada harga kayu softwood yang diekspor ke Amerika Serikat.…”

Capturing economic rent from natural resources, particularly forests, frequently still creates disagreement between the government and businesses. The charges imposed by the government in the forms of reboisation fund (DR) and forest resource provision (PSDH) have been in place for very long time, accepted by all stakeholders, and supported by laws. Government policy regarding compensation for forest stand value (GRNT) creates controvercies. This paper intends to clarify problem of forest charges by returning it to its fundamental theories, e.g. economic theory of natural resouces. Economic rent of forests that are controlled by the government is the right of all Indonesia people. Henece, the government has responsibility for capturing the rent as much as possible in the most efficient way. If the stumpage is too low then it potentially promotes overcutting, whereas if it is too high then it makes forest business less attractive that potentially promotes illegal activities. In forestry, economic rent of forest has a special name, it is stumpage price. There are some difficulties in estimating a competitive stumpage price, wheter the one obtained through a direct competitive auction of standing timber or through calculation of residual price. Partly, the difficulties were generated by the government's own policies that strongly distorted log prices. Log export ban and vertical integration are the two most influential policies in distorting log prices. Actually, the government is able to design and implement a single charge to capture PSDH, DR, and GRNT so that their administration becomes much simpler and more efficient.
