摘要

This thesis analyzes the Intergovernmental Forum on Forests (IFF), a global forest policy-making arena directly connected to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). Specifically, I focus on the work of delegates of activist nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in contributing to the IFF process under the United Nations' auspices. In many ways, the official inclusion of NGOs into forest policy negotiations represents a shift to incorporate the interests of civil society into traditionally inter-governmental dialogues. However, this study indicates that the manner in which that inclusion is accomplished is an important area for sociological research.; Using a participant observation methodology, a variant of institutional ethnography as developed by Dorothy E. Smith, this study investigates the textually-mediated organization of forest policy negotiations through the IFF. The study examines the ways in which issues of participation and sustainable development have been incorporated into forest policy negotiations over time, and are subsequently deployed throughout the process. It points to the ways in which these negotiations were connected to and influenced by trade negotiations in other international fora.; From the standpoint of activist NGOs, the work shows the specific processes through which NGOs engage in textual negotiations and make decisions regarding their participation in the process. Activist NGOs who are active participants in the UN negotiations realize that their contributions to the process are contingent on their ability to work within the structural and ideological constraints of the UN organizational complex.; The study concludes with an analysis of a specific case in which activist NGOs jointly decided to contribute to the IFF process through legitimated means of document generation. Their decision reflected recognition of the context within which activist NGOs participate in intergovernmental fora.

Smith)开发的制度民族志的变体,研究了通过国际森林论坛以文本为媒介的森林政策谈判组织。该研究探讨了将参与和可持续发展问题逐步纳入森林政策谈判并随后在整个过程中进行部署的方式。它指出了这些谈判如何与其他国际论坛中的贸易谈判联系并受到其影响。从激进的非政府组织的角度来看,该作品显示了非政府组织参与文本谈判并就其参与进程做出决策的具体过程。积极参与联合国谈判的激进非政府组织意识到,他们对这一进程的贡献取决于他们在联合国组织机构的结构和意识形态限制内的工作能力。该研究以对特定案例的分析作为结尾,在该案例中,激进的非政府组织共同决定通过合法的文件生成手段为IFF进程做出贡献。他们的决定反映了对激进的非政府组织参与政府间论坛的背景的认可。
