Policy adoption and implementation depend on a wide range of considerations that include the level of stakeholder participation and the choice of top-down or bottom-up approaches. The existence of a stakeholder participation platform is often seen as critical to facilitate both adoption and implementation of international treaties. However, it may not automatically lead to improved policy outcomes or legislative effectiveness. This study compares countries with and without stakeholder participation platforms for policy implementation and assesses whether there are differences in their management of biological resources. The study had two goals: (1) examining the adoption and implementation of public policies and legislation at national and local levels within countries; and (2) analyzing the differences between countries that have developed stakeholder participation platforms for sustainable forest management. Data were obtained from the Global Forest Resources Assessment Report 2015 of the Food and Agricultural Organization. Cross-tabulation and independent sample t test findings show strong relationships at higher levels of government between countries, but weak relationships at local levels. Significant differences are observed at all levels. These results shed light on the severe challenges that governments face in adopting global environmental policies and passing them down to local levels for implementation. The study concludes that although excellent policies and regulations may exist, they often do not lead to significantly better outcomes at all levels of government.

政策采纳、立法发展和实施:由此产生的各国在生物资源管理方面的全球差异

政策的采用和实施取决于广泛的考虑因素,包括利益相关者的参与程度以及自上而下或自下而上方法的选择。利益相关者参与平台的存在通常被视为促进国际条约的通过和实施的关键。然而,它可能不会自动导致政策结果或立法有效性的改善。本研究比较了有和没有利益相关者参与政策实施平台的国家,并评估它们在生物资源管理方面是否存在差异。该研究有两个目标:(1) 审查国家和地方各级公共政策和立法的采用和实施情况;(2) 分析为可持续森林管理开发了利益相关者参与平台的国家之间的差异。数据来自粮食及农业组织 2015 年全球森林资源评估报告。交叉制表和独立样本 t 检验结果表明,国家之间较高级别政府的关系密切,但地方级别的关系较弱。在所有级别都观察到显着差异。这些结果揭示了政府在采用全球环境政策并将其下放到地方层面实施时面临的严峻挑战。该研究得出的结论是,尽管可能存在优秀的政策和法规,但它们通常不会在各级政府中带来明显更好的结果。
