'Glocalizing' land-use and forest governance in the tropics: examining research partnerships and international forest policies affecting Brazil, DRC and Indonesia.

Background: International and market forces are key drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, with transnational and market-based solutions in land-use and forest governance often missing economic, distributive, and environmental targets. Methods: This paper tackles both the framing and effectiveness of transnational initiatives affecting forest lands and peoples in the Global South, and the quality of relationships between institutions in the Global North and the Global South. Through more equitable research partnerships, this paper draws lessons from case studies in Indonesia (legality verification system in different forest property regimes), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (lifting of a moratorium on new logging concession), and Brazil (FSC in the Amazon region and the Amazon Fund). Results: International partnerships have privileged market-based instruments and commodity exchange between Global South and Global North countries, and the benefits of such mechanisms are unevenly distributed. Complementary and alternative policy instruments are discussed for each geography. Conclusions: Glocalizing land-use and forest governance implies in advancing equitable research partnerships between institutions in the Global South and Global North, and strengthening a community of practice for critical enquiry and engagement in partnerships for sustainable development. Land-use, climate and forest governance mechanisms must redress power dynamics, and partnership models, and commit to improving well-being and sustainable livelihood outcomes.

Analysis of the Mais Médicos (More Doctors) Program in terms of its institutional arrangements: sector cooperation, federative relations, social participations and territoriality. / Análise do Programa Mais Médicos à luz dos arranjos institucionais: intersetorialidade, relações federativas, participação social e territorialidade.

This article analyzes the Mais Médicos (More Doctors) program based on the concept of an institutional arrangement, understood as the set of rules, organizations and processes that define the specific design of a given public policy, defining how it will articulate across players and interests. This concept will allow us to understand the dynamics of the players in this arrangement, as well as their governance, decision-making and governability, and how these factors reflect on public policy performance. A deeper analysis is based on four categories considered essential to understand an organizational arrangement in Brazil: sector cooperation (sometimes referred to as intersecoriality), federative relationships, social involvement and territoriality.

Resumo O artigo analisa o Programa Mais Médicos, adotando como referencial o conceito de arranjo institucional, compreendido como as regras, organizações e processos que definem o desenho específico de uma determinada política pública, estabelecendo a articulação entre os seus atores e interesses. A adoção desse conceito permite compreender a dinâmica dos atores participantes desse arranjo e como se articulam a governança, a construção da decisão e a governabilidade dos atores, bem como o reflexo de todos esses fatores no desempenho da política pública. O aprofundamento da análise baseou-se em quatro categorias, consideradas fundamentais, para se compreender um arranjo organizacional no caso brasileiro: a intersetorialidade, as relações federativas, a participação social e a territorialidade.
