application/pdfWith the increased integration of the global economy, there has been a rising concern over the effects of trade policy on
the environment. Recent research has shown that trade liberalisation can act as a ‘magnifier’ of governance problems in the
forest sector if the regulatory and institutional capacity is weak. Recognising this risk, the US-Peru free trade agreement
includes a binding Forest Annex, which specifies numerous measures to strengthen the legal and institutional framework
of Peru’s forest sector. The Forest Annex also outlines an innovative rule-based, bi-national verification system, which may
be of wider relevance in the debate about verification systems design. This paper explores the challenges of this innovative
environmental addition to trade policy, and considers implications for forest governance in Peru.With the increased integration of the global economy, there has been a rising concern over the effects of trade policy on
