“…In addition to enabling processes, our literature review indicates that a relationship exists between the aforementioned antecedents and the propensity for illicit activity to occur and that this relationship may be limited or inhibited by the monitoring, governing, and enforcing of regulations related to illegal natural resource extraction (Barbier, 1993; González‐González et al, 2021; Kuemmerle et al, 2009; Lee et al, 2020; Mbzibain & Tchoudjen, 2021; Robinson et al, 2014; Sinclair et al, 2021). These regulations often take the form of public policy, including laws, judicial decisions, and governing documents (Tokar & Swink, 2019) that a government or administrative agency creates and follows in response to a perceived problem (Birkland, 2015; Fugate et al, 2019).…”

“…Some research suggests that there is a widespread distrust of regulators (Thomas et al, 2017), while others contend that there are limits on the legitimate and permissible exercise of jurisdiction and control over natural resources (Banai et al, 2016). Mbzibain and Tchoudjen (2021) state that natural resource monitoring is ineffective and impacted by limited funding and regulators' lack of focus.…”

“…Furthermore, well‐intentioned CSR‐related efforts by businesses may have unintended consequences. This literature review revealed the reality that certification programs and regulations are failing to stem the flow of illegal natural resources into supply chains and may not be helping the communities or workers they intend to protect (Heilmayr et al, 2020; Le Gallic, 2008; Mbzibain & Tchoudjen, 2021; Vogel & Raeymaekers, 2016).…”

This article reviews extant multidisciplinary literature to uncover existing themes and directions in the knowledge of the overlap between natural resource scarcity and illicit supply chain activity. In doing so, the authors present a novel review of this nascent, complex, and multidisciplinary research area. This review has uncovered 127 articles that have not been synthesized or organized in a meaningful way with the supply chain literature. It extracts insights and develops a comprehensive process framework encompassing the following: (a) antecedents associated with natural resource extraction, which foments the opportunity for illicit activity to thrive; (b) resulting economic, social, and environmental outcomes from illicit activity as it relates to natural resource extraction; and (c) potential moderating processes, which either enable or inhibit illicit activity to occur, including firm-level tactics that businesses can employ to counteract illicit activity throughout the supply chain and to promote sustainable long-term operations. An extensive agenda is presented suggesting future research paths, methodologies, theories, and potential contributions.

The Impact of Grassroots Forestry Institutions on Forest Carbon Sequestration: Evidence from China’s Collective Forests

Many countries have established grassroots forestry institutions to manage and protect small-scale forestry resources and provide technology and services to private foresters. Since the inception of township forestry workstations (TFWs) in China almost 70 years ago, TFW has supported resource protection and forest property reform. In this paper, we employ fixed effect models to test the effects of TFW on collective forest carbon density and provide evidence for improving the quality of collective forests. Our results demonstrate that TFWs in China improve the carbon density of collective forests by performing forestry management and service functions. However, significant differences in TFWs exist under different management systems, and the dual leadership township forestry workstation (D_TWF) is more effective in increasing the carbon density of collective forests. The management system’s heterogeneity directly affects its performance, with D_TWF performing better management functions and the single leadership township forestry workstation (S_TWF) performing better service functions. These results underscore the importance of reforming the TFW management system in accordance with local conditions. In areas with abundant forest resources, the TFW’s management system should shift to single leadership (jurisdictional or vertical management). In forest resource-scarce regions, the TFW’s management system should change to dual leadership.

Multi-sector collaboration is gaining influence in modern discourse due to its potential to address wicked problems through collective goal achievement and capacity building. However, it also unveils challenges posed by power differentials and fragmented relationships among critical actors. Understanding the complexity of multi-sector collaboration requires an analysis of the relationships that impact modern society, such as state and non-state affiliation. In many developing countries, the state often maintains dominance, leading to tensions and inefficiencies in collaboration with non-state entities. These tensions, compounded by infrastructural challenges, contribute to instability and facilitate corruption. This analysis highlights the dynamics of power, personal connections, and corruption within these collaborations, often overshadowing policy considerations, with a specific focus on the context of the developing world.
