Title: National Forest Programmes in a Pan-European Context: Theoretical and Empirical Issues

Guest Editors: Peter Glueck and David Humphreys

The Editor-in-Chief of 'Forest Policy and Economics, Prof. Dr. Max Krott, has kindly agreed that a special issue of the journal dedicated to the work of COST Action E19 will be published in mid-2003. You are hereby invited to submit to the guest editors high quality and original papers related to our work with the Action.

It is anticipated that some papers will deal with theoretical and conceptual material, while others will take the form of empirical analysis, either within or across countries. To a large extent the special issue will reflect the debates and discussions that are taking place within the Action. Please will you circulate this message to all interested members in the academic community of your country.

Prof Dr Max Krott has requested the following procedures, which the guest editors have agreed to.
