Standards as Authority: Self‐Legitimation in the European Union's Global Forest Governance
Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates how the EU's introduction of binding sustainability standards through the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) constitutes an authoritative claim and how this claim is legitimized. Using qualitative content analysis, the paper examines three interconnected self‐legitimation strategies: (1) framing standards as optimal ...

A significant barrier to assessing seismic losses of the LTF residential houses in New Zealand is the lack of fragility functions of these PSWs.
