了解过去推动政策的力量，可以为人们对今天政策执行的有效性提供信息。有森林边界的国家的森林政策通过森林管理阶段过渡，反映了政府对经济发展的导向。这篇文章跟踪了20世纪初巴西的国家森林政策，从殖民到保护主义，在此期间，沿海地区的政策在很大程度上使森林政策边缘化。最近，巴西治理结构的深刻变化，民间社会在影响政策方面日益重要的作用，以及对森林的生物物理重要性的认识，促进了一种新的愿景，即亚马逊是一个主要任务是可持续森林管理的区域。森林政策制定的可持续管理阶段和巴西第一部《公共森林管理法》的批准，考虑到当前的社会经济、政治和环境背景，为提高森林政策在塑造土地利用方面的相关性提供了前所未有的机会。
Understanding the forces that drove policy in the past can inform expectations of the effectiveness of policy implementation today. Forest policies of countries with forested frontiers transition through stages of forest management, reflecting the orientation of governments toward economic development. The article follows Brazilian national forest policy from the early 20th century from colonization to protectionism, during which extrasectoral policies largely served to marginalize forest policy. More recently, profound changes in Brazil's governance structures, civil society's progressively important role in influencing policy, and recognition of the biophysical importance of forests have fostered an emerging vision of the Amazon as a region whose primary vocation is sustainable forest management. The sustainable management phase of forest policy development and the approval of Brazil's first Public Forest Management Law, given the current socioeconomic, political, and environmental context, present an unprecedented opportunity for increasing the relevance of forest policy in shaping land use.
