After 1990, with the transition towards democracy and market economy in Eastern countries, the integration of Europe became stronger causing both new problems and chances for forestry. There were two types of reaction in forest policy. On the one hand in the emerging democracies the classic instruments of forest government were formulated by rebuilding the rule of law, private ownership and markets for forestry. implementation of the progressive laws is the major problem today. On the other hand, cooperative forest policy-making in self-organizing networks of participants from policy, economy and society was introduced mainly by national forest programmes or by the European Union forest strategy. Based on a theory of policy-making and network analysis and case studies it is shown that this new “forest governance” offers chances for mutual learning but the results are also affected by a power process. By showing the distribution of power, network analysis could provide useful information for the decision on whether to join a specific network. Enhanced forest governance could be a new task for an active state administration. Whether the state forest service could fit into this new role depends on the ability to become a trusted mediator for all interests in forests. In conclusion, it is recommended to rely on the classic government instruments for a strong forest policy but to actively make use of the governance instruments in selected cases only.
