Relations between forestry and nature conservation The example of Slovakia

摘要

Relations between forestry and nature conservation are becoming clear in the political struggle for territorial nature conservation requirements and compensation as key instruments of the Slovak forest conservation policy. This article analyses this conflict using the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). The focus is on the question how advocacy coalitions convert their beliefs into concrete policies. So that a little-noticed aspect of ACF will be deepened and a contribution to a better understanding of policy changes is made.
