“…It is the restrictions imposed by this law that have a significant impact on forest land management (Dobšinská et al 2013). 63% of the forest area of the Slovak Republic is lo-vide information and support forestry and environmental pedagogy (Šálka et al 2017), thus exercising their source of power towards civil society (Halaj et al 2022;Krykorková et al 2022). Communication campaigns, rarely used in the forest policy practice in Slovakia, are also one of the examples (Wilkes-Allemann 2021).…”

After 1989, Central and Eastern European countries with planned economies launched a process of transformation. In the Slovak forest policy, the main changes have been in the structure of forest ownership, increasing the share of governance mechanisms within the decision-making, and the organization of the sector. The aim of the paper is to analyse the current Slovak forest policy arrangement in relation to the socialistic political history, via the Policy Arrangement Approach. The analysis is based on literature search and consultations with forest policy experts. In total, 55 scientific publications were analysed. Subsequently, the results were consulted with four national forest policy experts. Despite the three decades-lasting transformation process, in Slovakia, forest policy is characterised by a strong influence of governmental actors, centralisation, and prevailing hierarchical use of policy instruments. Nature protection actors enter the policy arena, for instance, to expand protected areas. The top-down planning has an impact on the forest owners’ performance of rights to use their forests. Non-governmental actors attempt to enforce their interests through participation mechanisms, inter-ministerial commenting procedures, and voluntary instruments. Public opinion is turning towards nature protection and forestry as such has come under pressure with its traditionalist approach.

Comparing the performance of state forest enterprises in Czech and Slovak Republics with a focus on concessions

et al. 2022

The comprehensive performance of the Lesy ČR and Lesy SR forest enterprises was evaluated three decades after the separation of the Czech and Slovak Republics. Implementation of the overarching goal of sustainable forest management was studied using the criteria and indicators approach of the theory-based 3L Model. Quantitative and qualitative data, collected from 2016 to 2019 by means of surveys (face-to-face interviews and questionnaire), document analysis and observation, show similarities and differences between two enterprises that have completely different business models: concessions (Lesy ČR) vs. management by state organisation (Lesy SR). Both enterprises focus intensely on sustaining forest stands (rooted in strong state regulation), though guaranteeing sustainability within the state forest entrusted to the Lesy ČR entails great risk. Despite growing public pressures, both enterprises have a rather weak orientation toward non-market demand. In addition, their political role is weak and no great effort is devoted to innovation (new forest goods). Furthermore, the economic performance of the enterprises studied reveals a big difference: Lesy ČR generates an incomparably high profit, not only when measured against Lesy SR but also against other European state forest enterprises.
