“…According to some authors (Aubin & Varone 2004, Carbone & Savelli 2009), the accumulation of norms, customary rights and formal institutions have limited the effectiveness and coordination of policy and rules implementation in Italy. Besides, Italy is facing two significant constraints to any PES implementation in the forestry sector: (i) the highly fragmented landownership structure; and (ii) the limited number of forest owners' associations, which both determine higher transaction costs and limit the capabilities of ES potential investors or suppliers to take action.…”

The paper reviews the state of implementation of one of the most relevant mechanisms of payments for environmental services (PES) in the forestry sector: the systems of payments for water-related forest services. Three water services with economic relevance are analyzed with reference to the Italian context: hydropower generation, tap-water supply and mineral water use by industry. Using the consolidated definition of PES as a basis for the analysis and considering the regulatory framework on water, we compared the three waterrelated services to describe the strengths and weaknesses in environmental services provision. From the analysis we deduced that pure PES schemes do not exist in the water sector in Italy, while PES-like schemes driven by public authorities have a relatively long and consolidated tradition, but need to be better oriented and more widely implemented in order to compensate the providers of the services.

“…EU Forestry Strategy (1998) identified NFPs as a tool to implement international principles and recommendations (Hogl, 2002). A national law of 2001 addresses the connection between the national forest policy and responsibilities of Italy in the international sphere (Carbone & Savelli, 2009). In the Italian context, the NFP is partially constituted by the Framework Programme on Forestry Sector (Mipaaf, 2008).…”

In the early 1990s, public involvement in forest planning was recognized and implemented both at a political and technical level in Europe, whereas in Italy, the participatory approach in forest planning, particularly at landscape level, has become widespread over the last decade. Several actors have been involved and the need to consider the objectives and targets expressed by different stakeholders has progressively increased. More consideration has been given to the outcomes of this involvement for the decisionmaking process. In the first part of the article, the forest-planning framework in the Italian context is presented, illustrating the role of the different levels of planning: the National Forest Programme (NFP), the Forest Landscape Management Plan (FLMP), and the Forest Unit Management Plan (FUMP). In the second part, the public participation process model, developed by the authors in Italy for the landscape scale, is analyzed by underlining four key attributes: procedure, moment of participation, learning interaction, and delegation of power. Regarding procedure, the five stages of participation adopted-communication and information, stakeholder analysis, first consultation stage, synthesis and preparation of the scenarios, and second consultation stage-are presented in order 465 Downloaded by [University of Otago] at 23:37 02 October 2015 466 A.

“…For instance, the importance of domestic policy constellations is pointed out. While Carbone and Savelli (2009) discuss Italy's experience with the parallel development of a NFP and multiple regional plans as well as the interplay between forestry research and forest administration, another study analyses the influence of various features of domestic policy networks on the implementation of international sustainability strategies, including a NFP-process at the national level in Austria (Hogl et al, 2009). Moreover, recent studies question the constructed picture of NFPs as an instrument to achieve policy change: Hogl et al, 2009 note at least that the Austrian Forest Dialogue has become a "processoriented strategy" in which changes are manifested in the process of broadening the formally closed forest policy network, both in terms of new actors and new process principles, while they could not find evidence for major changes in terms of policy goals and instruments (Hogl et al, 2009).…”
