Dr. Benjamin Cashore is a professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at Yale-NUS College in Singapore. Cashore also directs the International Union of Forest Research Organization’s (IUFRO) task force on International Forest Governance. Dr. Cashore’s major research interests include the emergence of non‐state governance innovations, their intersection with traditional governmental processes, and the role of firms, non‐state actors, civil society and governments in shaping these trends. His ongoing research efforts are focused on understanding how the interaction of multiple levels of governance, in both public and private sectors, might evolve to produce durable global environmental governance solutions. He pursues this approach through thematic efforts: forest policy and governance; certification/corporate social responsibility/non‐state governance; policy change and policy learning; climate change as a “super wicked” problem; and the influence of globalization and internationalization on domestic policy processes. Dr. Cashore holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto.
