Abstract
This synopsis provides an outlook for the complex issue of tropical forestry and rural development. It is based on the previous chapters, and incorporates historical facts, rural development politics and policies, and management systems and instruments. The mix between factual and instrumental aspects rules out a simple conceptual framework. In this synopsis the co-evolution model presented at the outset is taken up, to represent the complex reality of tropical forestry and rural development (Fig. 13.1). The highly dynamic and action-oriented character of this outlook is rooted in the discussion of paradigm changes, leading to design elements for a prospective tropical forestry and rural development theory.
