Assembling an Experimentalist Regime
Transnational Governance Interactions in the Forest Sector
The paper demonstrates how an increasingly comprehensive transnational regime can be assembled to protect deforestation by linking together distinct EU and private regulatory initiatives.
The study shows how it is the experimentalist features of this initiative and its regulatory interactions, which accommodate local diversity and foster recursive learning from decentralized implementation experience, that make it possible to build up a flexible and adaptive transnational governance even in situations where interests diverge and no hegemon can impose its own will.
