The Environmental Governance Group at the University of Minnesota

Welcome! This is the homepage of the Environmental Governance Group at the University of Minnesota. We are led by Assistant Professor Forrest Fleischman, in the University of Minnesota Department of Forest Resources. We conduct research on environmental governance and decision making in Minnesota and around the world.

Our current projects focus on understanding the politics of forest management in India and the United States (although we also have a history of working in Mesoamerica). Our group includes faculty, research scientists, postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates. We have published research in many important venues. We are currently recruiting new members.
