This volume sets down the presentations and discussions of a conference at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies during March 2002 titled "Illegal Logging in the Tropics: The Ecology, Economics, and Policy of Resource Misuse." The contributors offer a diversity of theoretical approaches to the problem. These include analyses of incentives given to local residents to commit the crimes, the extent to which illegal logging is reflective of governmental failures, the balance between justifiable illegal logging and legitimate state control, and legalization and its effectiveness in

• global governance—with a cross-country regression analysis of deforestation and various aspects of governance
  
• global forest trade—with extensive reviews of data on global trade in forest products
  
• community perspectives on illegal logging—including a system dynamics model of villagers’ willingness to log, a description of community involvement in broader networks of illegal trade, and a chapter that challenges the credibility of illegality as defined by a corrupt government or agency
  
• the efforts of NGOs to combat illegal logging
  
• how illegal logging is typically symptomatic of broader failures of governance

Specific chapters in Illegal Logging in the Tropics: Strategies for Cutting Crime investigate:

• the role of monitoring in cutting forest crime
  
• whether illegal logging is better combated via law enforcement or by local communities—with pros and cons for each approach
  
• the proximate causes of illegal logging, including access to forests and equipment, and economic factors
  
• the efforts of Transparency International—a widely lauded organization combating corruption—to address illegal logging at the international policy level

In addition, this valuable resource provides you with an essential overview of the literature on illegal logging, an in-depth analysis of the incentive structures that bring local residents to commit forest crimes, and a great deal more. Let Illegal Logging in the Tropics: Strategies for Cutting Crime be your guide to the intricacies of this increasingly urgent issue.
