Abstract
Networks become a key aspect for environmental governance in the context of the increasing complexity of actors’ interactions, with particular relevance for forestry. Nodes (individuals or organizations) and the uxes among them -infor- mation, collaboration, trade ows, etc. constitute networks. The social structures of different communities constitute an asset for their development, coined as “Social Capital” by Putnam (1993). Social capital encompasses the structure of ties, trust and norms which facilitate collective action, so that actors are coor- dinated for a common goal. Social capital contributes to explain the behavior of community members beyond traditional individual incentives.Pubblicazioni consigliate
