Under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization, forest policies have been regionalized according to forest areas and political borders. Global economic and development goals have also shaped forest policies and made private, public and collective actors work together on specific territories. Indeed, the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (MCPFE) stems from just such a process of regionalization. The MCPFE manages various types of forests from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. Thus, the issue of forest regulation hinges upon its territorial dimension.
