Reconsidering REDD+ : authority power and law in the green economy In Reconsidering REDD+: Authority Power and Law in the Green Economy Julia Dehm provides a critical analysis of how the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) scheme operates to reorganise social relations and to establish new forms of global authority over forests in the Global South in ways that benefit the interests of some actors while further marginalising others. In accessible prose that draws on interdisciplinary insights Dehm demonstrates how through the creation of new legal relations including property rights and contractual obligations new forms of transnational authority over forested areas in the Global South are being constituted. This important work should be read by anyone interested in a critical analysis of international climate law and policy that offers insights into questions of political economy power and unequal authority
