EDITOR'S NOTE

The five articles for this issue dwelt on investigation of actors, policies, factors affecting participation and community development, and determinants of sustainability of interventions.

Brillo’s article investigated the dynamics among policy actors in the crafting of a policy, specifically the Foreign Bank Liberalization Act, and discussed the leverage of the Senate over the other competing actors. Docta and Razal problematized the effects of the Forest Charges Law to rattan-based livelihoods of indigenous peoples and proposed several policy initiatives to mitigate such problems. Ounthala et al. examined community participation and its significance to the attainment of short and long term goals of a community-based project. Using the multinomial logit model, Gordoncillo and Paunlagui concluded that the more functional an organization is, the higher the level of its development. This was measured by a quantitative assessment tool known as the Level of Development Assessment. Finally, Maneja et al. investigated factors that may influence sustainability of interventions in the local government units.
