| Popis: | Here, the author reviews arguments about the uses of collaborative and performance-based information in environmental politics. The use of information is considered as a way to transform treadmill politics. In particular, recent experiments in participatory forest standard setting and certification operate to generate information about forest practice and policy for interested parties. The case that environmental nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) or other civil society groups armed with collaborative and performance-based information can push more effectively for social change is considered, as is the role of the state in (potentially) fostering information provision as public policy. Results presented here follow the completion of 40 interviews with certification actors in the United States, archival research on key documents, analysis of transcripts of industry and NGO conferences on certification, and field tours with managers of certified lands. |
