Clash or concert in European forests? Integration and coherence of forest ecosystem service–related national policies

Land Use Policy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 129, P. 106617 - 106617

This paper compares how forest ecosystem service–related policies are integrated in different national European governance contexts. Efforts to achieve policy integration at the EU and levels often described terms of limited success. Our analysis forest, energy/bioeconomy, climate, conservation suggests that notions progress or failure merit careful assessment. Combining theories (PI), environmental (EPI), coherence, we argue outcomes depend on combined effects degree nature PI, EPI, multilevel coherence context prevailing system.

Living with the incoherent: Practical insights on implementing European restoration policies for biodiversity policy integration

AMBIO, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 19, 2025

Abstract Policy incoherence is an omnipresent challenge in public administration. Focusing on the joint implementation of European Water Framework Directive and Habitats Directive, we analyze how administrative fragmentation hampers river restoration projects at sub-national level Germany. By shifting analytical focus to institutional factors, reveal barriers institutional, processual individual levels. We find that failure stems not only from practical hurdles, such as lack resources, information, or manpower, but also more fundamental flaws arrangements. Based a multi-stakeholder consultation, argue both bottom-up top-down approaches can support better coordination local mandate for implementation. In particular, state-level planning help reduce costs short term. The analysis highlights critical role actors leadership, reframing cross-sectoral policy integration.

Climate policy integration as a process: from shallow to embedded integration

Journal of Environmental Policy & Planning, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 26(3), P. 279 - 294

Published: April 12, 2024

Across many policy areas, policymakers try to integrate new issues into old processes. This is challenging. Getting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions requires radical change across a broad range of societal sectors; thus, climate integration essential. article develops processual perspective on integration, allowing assessment, classification, and comparison various stages processes, over time. The process can be shaped by differing institutional logics. In study Norwegian agricultural policy, we identify three logics: multifunctional, market failure, socio-technological transition. These portray frames, objectives, instruments, sector involvement as appropriate ways linking concerns policy. We suggest that shallow characterized sector-specific logic facilitates discussions frames goals. an embedded process, multiple logics are mobilized, broader elements discussed: goals, in the process. Consistent contested processes intermediate categories. Climate had hallmarks 2006–2009 but changed 2016–2021.

Policy integration in the European Union: mapping patterns of intersectoral policy-making over time and across policy sectors

Journal of European Public Policy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 26

Published: Dec. 15, 2023

Policy integration has become an important principle guiding public policy development. Despite its prominence, we lack comprehensive knowledge of the exact degree and variation across sectors time, mainly due to systematic measurement approaches. We address this shortcoming by (1) developing a novel measure that evaluates intersectorality legal acts (2) assessing development in European Union over four decades (1977–2019) for 16 sectors. Our mapping reveals that, on average, intersectoral policy-making increased since 1990s with most substantial rise during Barroso I II Commissions trend reversal after Juncker took office 2014. Furthermore, identify between different areas reflecting varying levels political attention salience. deem our concept findings have implications study general EU policies particular.
