Reviews
''This book is an outstanding example of the sociological imagination put to high moral and practical use. The topic is very timely, and the theme is both unique and essential for an improved set of development strategies.''--William R. Burch, Jr., Yale University ''Steven Brechin deftly uses insights from organizational sociology to explain how three international aid groups developed radically different forest-building programs. The result is an exceptionally readable, compelling account that will be of great interest to students of organizations, the environment, and international political economy.''--Frank R. Dobbin, Princeton University

Synopsis
Over the past several decades, international and national agencies and organizations have become increasingly aware of the problems of deforestation and desertification in the developing world. Consequently, they have mobilized interest and resources to combat these threats to sustainable economic development through a new activity -- the organized planting of trees for people. Reforestation has proven to be difficult, however, because most arable land is already in use for agriculture and because uncertainties exist over land and tree tenure. With forestry institutions weak and ineffective in many developing countries, international organizations have assumed the leadership role in promoting this crucial task. In Planting Trees in the Developing World Steven R. Brechin draws upon organizational sociology to explain why three international organizations -- the World Bank, the Forestry Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization, and CARE-USA -- performed so differently while promoting rural development forestry projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Focusing on the period from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s, Brechin argues that the unique organizational nature of each agency -- shaped by internal characteristics as well as external pressures -- influenced its ability to promote certain kinds of development programs.
