| الوصف: | Between 2000 and 2012, 2.3m sq. kilometers of tree cover, equivalent to 6.4 times the size of Germany, were lost globally due to land cover change. Forest loss often comes with significant social and environmental costs. Deforestation contributes 12% - 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, reduces biodiversity and threatens traditional livelihoods. Forest conservation policies have shown mixed results worldwide. The success of instruments depends on both their policy design and the context to which they are applied. Even well designed policies can fail to avoid deforestation, when the bio-physical, socio-economic, and the political context are overlooked. This thesis investigates the role of the political context as a potential inhibitor or facilitator of forest conservation in Brazil. Brazil is an ideal case to study the political economy of forest conservation. During the 2000s the country introduced a substantial forest conservation reform and deforestation rates subsequently fell by 80%. The realized policy-mix included different disincentive and incentive components. Effective measures include the expansion of protected areas, the increase in field-based environmental law enforcement, fines and credit restrictions to environmental offenders. To understand the role of the political sector, this thesis analyzes three Brazilian forest conservation policies that address the political context and the environmental governance at the local level: An anti-corruption policy targeting districts’ administrational responsibilities, though leaving environmental performance uncontrolled; a naming and shaming policy targeting districts with high deforestation rates; and an incentive-based payments for environmental services program combined with forest friendly investments to residents in protected areas. Impacts and the mechanism through which these polices effect environmental outcomes are analyzed with a combination of spatial data processing techniques and quasi-experimental methods.
