Towards collaborative forest planning in Canadian and Swedish hinterlands: Different institutional trajectories?

Do Political Structures Matter in Environmental Politics?: The Case of Air Pollution Control in Canada, Sweden, and the United States

Several states in the United States recently adopted some form of special control over coastal land use, stimulated in part by the federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. Under the act 30 states are eligible for grants to assist them in developing and administering such controls. Such controls have been greatly expanded, in Sweden, by recent amendments to existing legislation which will be described here in further detail. These amendments include decreases in the compensation due coastal landowners for restrictions placed on the use of their property and increased specificity in the planning processes applied to coastal areas. The broad range of legislation indicates that at least some of the techniques described should be of interest to those engaged in coastal zone management elsewhere.
