| Description: |
Researchers propose a set of conditions they expect to be associated with the adoption of effective anti-deforestation policies in commodity frontiers. They then examine whether these conditions have influenced policy adoption in South America's major soy-and-cattle frontiers. By collating empirical data from diverse sources they show that the Cerrado, the Chaco, and the Chiquitano differ from the Brazilian Amazon in multiple ways that might have inhibited adoptions of effective anti-deforestation instruments.
