Abstract

How are international environmental ideas adopted locally? We answer this question by examining the adoption and development of the model forest idea in Argentina since the late 1990s. (...) We argue that transnational networks of bureaucrats, advocates, and stakeholders help explain how natural resources governance programs travel across countries. We distinguish more technical-driven adoptions from societal-driven ones, as a function of existing levels of conflict. We expect technical-driven adoptions to take place in contexts of lower levels of conflict and societal-driven adoptions in contexts of higher levels of conflict. This paper is a first step in a broader project that compares the adoption and evolution of community-based forests in Latin America.
