Abstract

Managing environmental standards as a form of environment-related trade barriers has become increasingly important for producing countries that are active participants in global commodity trading. Current international environmental standardization in trade, shows stronger tendency of convergence between sustainability criteria developed by the private sector and government regulations that apply in importing countries. Subsequently, such standards have overtime become guidelines for policy reforms in producing countries. To that end, the increasing role of private actors in pushing for higher environmental standards, has generated new dynamics in production-trade relations, which have overtime become increasingly complex. As a consequence, producing countries, now face multi-layered trade barriers before their products gain access to importing markets.

Abstract

As one of countries which has the large tropical forests in the world and the largest in ASEAN, Indonesia has been facing serious deforestation problems. Eventhough some scholars have found causes of the deforestation and have tried to give solutions, however, identifications of deforestation causes are still worth studying as the deforestation still becomes an important issue in Indonesia. This study tries to extend and explore the causes of deforestation in Central Kalimantan, one of Provinces in Indonesia which has been facing the deforestation problem caused by many factors. This study applied a qualitative approach. Data were collected by using interview and focus group discussions which involved about 27 informants representing 14 organizations leaders such as WALHI, AMAN, Save Our Borneo, Yayasan Bentang Borneo, Ampuh, TUK Jakarta, Greenpeace, SIEJ, SPKS, Sawit Watch, Forest Watch Indonesia, Mongabay, Institute Dayakologi, LINK-AR Borneo, WWF and Academia as informants. The study found several factors that drive deforestation which are asymmetric deforestation concept, governance issues and commodity-based development politics.
