TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse several institutional innovations with the capacity to create considerable changes in the rules of the game of forest policy making in Austria, Scotland and France, in a context characterised by a shift from government regulation to governance mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the use of the concept of "full value" for forest development, and analyze the different ways it is presently used for the promotion of a new kind of forest policy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mixed model based on both rationalist and communicative action theories is proposed for the formulation of forest management policies, which can promote multiple use of forests in mountain regions, requires rigorous methods and approaches, based on established theories.

TL;DR: In the mixed model, the basic structure of the decision making process is a chronological deductive series of steps whose content is defined through a negotiation procedure as mentioned in this paper, and the monitoring of the implementation of the forest policy reform aiming at a permanent adaptation to the changes in the context, including those brought from the reform process itself, is provided by the means of participatory assessments along the chain.
