"This readable book is aimed at international forest researchers, as well as forest managers, practitioners and policy makers. The book is written in accessible style with sufficient introduction and explanations such that little prior experience of the topic is needed to use the information in the book effectively. Although not stated, it appears especially useful for Swedish audiences and academics in the field of forest governance and practice.." - Verina Ingram, Assistant Professor, Wageningen UR in International Forestry Review Vol.20(1), 2018
