Governance patterns and performance of regional strategies in peri-urban areas : comparative analysis of seven cases in Europe and Chine
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report examines how different regional and local governance patterns and specific spatial planning strategies impact on peri-urban land use in Rural Urban regions. It draws from seven regional case studies, presenting a diverse mix of strategies ranging from protecting biodiversity and agricultural land, creating recreation and tourism opportunities to reducing pressure from building and infrastructure development. To study the means of influence or power an analytical framework of ‘policy arrangement’ was employed (Tatenhove et al, 2000): specifying rules of the game, resources, coalitions and discourses. Both government and nongovernment actors such as environmental groups or developers can form coalitions, adopt rules, employ resources and develop discourses to influence policies and developments in urban regions. The analytical and assessment frameworks defined by regional researchers and practitioners helped to organize the case study data and to evaluate both processes and outcomes of governance in peri-urban areas. The outcomes are represented in a summarized way for each strategy and region.The report provides examples of unsustainable developments in peri-urban regions and how certain strategies helped to counteract these, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing peri-urban areas as a policy field in its own right.A sustainable spread of land use over the Rural Urban region requires regional authorities whose jurisdiction covers the Rural Urban region and who have the appropriate mix of policy means of influence and relative power over lower level authorities. Under the current predominant discourse of ‘sustainable’ development largely being equal to economic development, the outcome of sustainability concerns depends on urban areas taking financial responsibility for the inclusion of common good interests such as ecosystem services, cultural heritage and social and environmental justice into the periurban areas. Recommendations for policy makers at different levels conclude the report.

M. Aalbers & Katarina Eckerberg ChapterFirst Online: 01 January 20122144 Accesses2 Citations2 AltmetricAbstractThis chapter examines the analyses and strategies presented for each of the case studies in Chaps. 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and presents a comparison in order to draw out the main findings which may provide possible solutions for policy makers working in other regions. As explained in Chap. 1, there are a range of particular policy challenges in the urban fringe. The policies of several adjacent municipalities or local authorities may be combined and managed by an indirectly elected regional authority, while different national and EU-level sectoral and regional policies frequently interfere with each other in such areas. Problems of implementation deficits with sector-based strategies are commonplace following institutional fragmentation, calling for increased co-ordination and better integration mechanisms (Tatenhove et al. 2000).

- Runt om världen skolstrejkas det mot att alltför lite görs för att stoppa klimatförändringarna. Hundratusentals ungdomar i över hundra länder har engagerat sig i vad som blivit till en global rörelse.I dag planeras för de mest omfattande protesterna hittills.Budskapet är det samma som klimatforskarnas, alltså att rådande klimatpolitik och utsläppsnivåer måste läggas om radikalt snarast, annars hotar en global katastrof. Tusentals belgiska och engelska forskare har i öppna brev bekräftat att budskapet stämmer. Därför har alla vi vuxna medborgare en skyldighet att engagera oss. I slutändan krävs politiskt ledarskap. De folkvalda måste axla sitt ansvar, erkänna situationens allvar, diskutera och besluta om nödvändiga policyer och se till att dessa genomförs; det är vår skyldighet som demokratiska medborgare att pressa dem till detta, så länge de inte gör det på eget initiativ.

A policy analysis perspective on ecological restoration
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Ecology and Society. - 1708-3087. ; 18:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using a simple stages model of the policy process, we explore the politics of ecological restoration using an array of examples drawn across sector, different size and scale, and from different countries. A policy analysis perspective reveals how, at both the program and project levels, ecological restoration operates within a complex and dynamic interplay between technical decision making, ideologies, and interest politics. Viewed through the stages model, restoration policy involves negotiating nature across stages in the policy making process, including agenda setting, policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. The stages model is a useful heuristic devise; however, this linear model assumes that policy makers approach the issue rationally. In practice, ecological restoration policy takes place in the context of different distributions of power between the various public and private actors involved at the different stages of restoration policy making. This allows us to reiterate the point that ecological restoration is best seen not only as a technical task but as a social and political project.

Ecological restoration success : a policy analysis understanding

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses how ecological restoration success can be understood and evaluated using a policy analysis lens. First, this article details a conceptual tool that helps to develop a more encompassing set of criteria to assess restoration activities that provide socioeconomic benefits. Second, by broadening the understanding of restoration success and how it can be evaluated, it allows a more critical view of evaluation itself and its uses as a policy tool. A table is presented that can help practitioners reveal preferences and clarify the aims and objectives of particular initiatives. The table also sensitizes practitioners to the complexity of the links between restoration rationales and evaluation criteria, which in turn may open up much needed discussion and dialogue between restoration participants about the underlying values an actor may wish to promote. It heightens awareness of the fact that evaluation methods need to recognize that restoration is driven by multiple rationales often in the same project, both process driven and output oriented, which in turn can change over time. Adding process and output criteria together may also raise issues of priority. Evaluation criteria thus need to be assigned in ways that reflect these multiplicities, while at the same time recognizing that some restoration values might be conflictual and that there may be winners and losers. Furthermore, judgement about "failure" of a project can change as new goals emerge in delivery and implementation. Ecological restoration evaluation should therefore be ongoing, contextual, and not a one-off event.

Governance for sustainable development in Sweden : the experience of the local investment programme
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Local Environment. - : Routledge. - 1354-9839 .- 1469-6711. ; 12:4, s. 325-342
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines the role of central government in enhancing local capacity for promoting sustainable development. Building upon a series of evaluation studies, it examines a major central government funding initiative in Sweden, called the Local Investment Programme for Ecological Sustainability (LIP). The Programme formed part of a new governance approach towards the promotion of sustainable development. It was designed to promote both ecological sustainable development and create new 'green jobs', while at the same time stimulating innovative ways of thinking among local actors about the relationship between economy, ecology and society. Substantial material environmental effects were achieved and 'green jobs' created by LIP. However, allocation was skewed towards environmental leader municipalities and LIP was never fully integrated into other sustainable development initiatives. Further, few public/private partnerships were developed. Hence, despite the magnitude of the Programme, we question whether it produced lasting capacity-building effects at the local level.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ecological restoration has taken on a new significance in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss. Despite its growing policy salience, however, the social and political sciences have paid limited attention to the study of ecological restoration policy and practice. By drawing upon the political science study of multilevel governance, institutions, power elations, and place-based politics, a flavour is given of what a political science engagement might contribute to the rich tapestry of analysis that has already been produced by other disciplines on ecological restoration. As the use of restoration grows, it is increasingly likely that it will give rise to social dispute and be brought into conflict with a variety of environmental, cultural, economic, and community interests. Restoration policy and projects encounter professional and institutional norms as well as place-specific interests and values. There is urgent need to investigate how and in what ways some interests become winners and others losers in these activities, and how this in turn can influence ecological restoration outcomes. A political science lens could help build new criteria for evaluating the success of ecological restoration, ones that combine both process- and product-driven considerations.

The Role of the State in the Governance of Sustainable Development : subnational practices in European states
- 2014
-
Ingår i: State and Environment. - Cambridge MA /London : MIT Press. - 9780262525817 - 9780262027120 ; , s. 179-202
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter investigates the role of the state in the governance of sustainable development at the sub-national, regional and local levels in Europe, including 1) the scope of state involvement, 2) the function of the state in sustainable development policy making. The state is shown to be a key player in initiating and co-ordinating the sustainable development planning processes in the four key themes across European states: (1) multi-level governance; (2) networks and public / private partnerships; (3) participation and (4) the use of marked based instruments.The main function of the state in the analyzed policy areas is, on the one hand to act as coordinator between different interests, and on the other to act as stimulator for initiating new policy initiatives. The state both initiates and co-ordinates policy networks and retains a great deal of power over the nature and functioning of network forms of governance. Evidence also points out how the use of new environmental policy tools can strengthen the hand of the state by supporting hierarchical governance. Thus, far from being a simple one, the relationship between market and network governance and the state has been shown to be complex and dense.

Bioenergi från skogen - möjligheter och begränsningar : Slutrapport från KSLA:s klimatgrupp för bioenergi
- 2024
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det pågår en intensiv debatt om samhällets användning av bioenergi. Att bryta beroendet av ändliga, fossila resurser emot ett flöde av av förnybar energi har varit en drivande vision. Osäkerheten om vägen framåt ökar nu till följd av ökad internationell polaridering och konflikt. Därmed har energisäkerhet blivit ett viktigt argument för bioenergi.Förnybara energikällor - där bioenergi är en - erbjuder möjlighet att komma ut ur fossilberoendet som driver klimatförändring och som fortfarande helt dominerar energiförsörjningen både inom EU och globalt. Men det finns också viktiga begränsningar vad gäller den roll bioenergin kan spela. Debatten om bioenergin bidrag till att minska klimatpåverkan och fossilberoende försvåras av att forskningen inte ger något entydigt svar och att man ofta har olika utgångspunkter och fokus både bland forskare och intressenter. Vi har sammanfattat olika perspektiv och avvägningar mellan de aspekter som är viktiga att bekta i belsut på både kort och lång sikt i en svensk kontext.Den absoluta huvuddelen av svensk bioenergi kommer från skogen. Därför ligger vårt fokus på de skogliga bränslesortimenten, även om det finns en betydande potential också inom jordbruket. Vi har koncentrerat oss på de spaketer där gruppens medlemmar har god expertis. Frågor kring energiinfrastruktur, teknikutveckling och samhällsekonomiska överväganden behandlas mer översiktligt. Vi avsluta med en spaning in i framtiden om möjligheter för bioenergin i framtidens energisystem. Vår förhoppning är att KSLA med denna rappirt ska öka kunskapen - och kanske också avliva några myter - om bioenergins framtida roll.

2019: Report of the Swedish Climate Policy Council
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sweden’s overarching climate target is to reach net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2045, followed by negative emissions. This long-term target is complemented by several interim targets. Those climate targets, the planning and monitoring system regulated under the Swedish Climate Act (2017:720), and the Swedish Climate Policy Council together form Sweden’s climate policy framework.The Climate Act took effect on 1 January 2018 after being adopted by a broad majority of the Riksdag (the Swedish Parliament). The mission of the Swedish Climate Policy Council is to determine if the government’s overall design of policies is compatible with the climate targets adopted by the Parliament and the Government. The Council uses a broad approach to evaluate the comprehensive policy, aiming to assess the effect of different policies on greenhouse gas emission trends. From this broad perspective, we examine the comprehensive policy in two dimensions: leadership and governance, and policy instruments.We define leadership and governance as policy targets, organisation and work procedures. Policy instruments include all the decisions and actions that directly affect citizens, companies and other stakeholders, including taxes, fees, regulations, public-sector consumption and investments.Since 1990, Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 26%. This reduction mainly took place between 2003 and 2014. Thereafter the rate of reduction slowed, and 2017 was the third consecutive year in which emissions decreased by less than 1%. This rate is far too slow to achieve the climate targets, except for the upcoming 2020 target. The rate of reduction would need to accelerate to between 5% and 8% each year to meet future targets.The Swedish Climate Act states that within the framework of the budget bill, each year the Government must report climate policy decisions and actions taken during the previous year. The first climate assessment was presented to the Parliament together with the 2019 Budget Bill. It lacks assessments of how the reported climate policy decisions and actions might affect emissions. The Government recognised that additional actions are needed in several sectors, but did not state when and how decisions on these actions will be taken. The transitional government at the time said this was due to its limited mandate. This raises the stakes for the four-year Climate Action Plan that the Climate Act requires the Government to present in 2019.To achieve the long-term target, Sweden must reach the interim targets for 2030 and 2040, which include emissions that are not a part of the EU’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). All sectors matter, but reaching the 2030 goal depends heavily on progress in the transport sector, because domestic transport accounts for half of Sweden’s current emissions. In light of this, the Climate Policy Council has chosen to more closely examine policies that affect domestic transport emissions in a thematic section in this year’s report.The sectors included in the EU ETS – large-scale industry, civil aviation and power generation – account for almost 40% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. These sectors are included in the overarching target of net-zero emissions but not in the national interim targets, since the trading system is regulated at the EU level. There is currently no mechanism in place at the EU level to bring emissions covered by the trading system to net-zero in all Member States. Progress on these emissions is not in line with what is required for Sweden to reach its target of net-zero emissions.The report presents ten recommendations to the Swedish government: four general and six for transport policy.

Det klimatpolitiska ramverket : rapport 2018
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Klimatpolitiska rådet bildades den 1 januari 2018 med uppgift att utvärdera hur regeringens samlade politik är förenlig med de klimatmål som riksdagen och regeringen har beslutat. Detta är rådets första rapport. Här presenteras rådets ledamöter och vårt uppdrag, som en del av Sveriges klimatpolitiska ramverk och dess internationella sammanhang i EU och FN.I Paris i december 2015 enades världens länder om ett nytt globalt klimatavtal under klimatkonventionen. Parisavtalet är historiskt då det är det första klimatavtalet som nästan alla världens länder står bakom. Processen bakom avtalet involverade också en lång rad andra viktiga aktörer inom näringsliv, forskning, civilsamhälle, städer och regioner.Efter Parisavtalet har ramverken för att hantera klimatproblemet förstärkts även på europeisk och nationell nivå. I juni 2017 beslutade riksdagen om ett klimatpolitiskt ramverk för Sverige med stöd av en mycket bred majoritet av riksdagens partier. Ramverket innehåller tre delar: långsiktiga mål, ett planerings- och uppföljningssystem samt ett klimatpolitiskt råd. Delar av ramverket är reglerat i en klimatlag.Det övergripande målet i det klimatpolitiska ramverket är att Sverige senast år 2045 inte har några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser till atmosfären, för att därefter uppnå negativa utsläpp. Ramverket innehåller även etappmål på vägen mot det långsiktiga målet.Som en del av den parlamentariska överenskommelsen och det klimatpolitiska ramverket har regeringen inrättat det Klimatpolitiska rådet. Rådets huvuduppdrag är att ”utvärdera hur regeringens samlade politik är förenlig med de klimatmål som riksdag och regering har beslutat”.Uppdraget att granska regeringens samlade politik understryker klimatfrågans breda och tvärsektoriella karaktär. Att nå målen om ett fossilfritt samhälle utan några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser inom 25 år innebär en omfattande samhällsförändring i ett komplext samspel mellan mängder av olika faktorer, aktörer och drivkrafter. Klimatfrågan spänner därmed också över i princip samtliga vetenskapliga fält. Det klimatpolitiska rådet består av personer med bred tvär- och mångvetenskaplig kompetens inom naturvetenskap, samhällsvetenskap, humaniora och teknikvetenskap. Till sitt förfogande har rådet ett kansli med tre heltidsanställda.Under första halvan av 2018 kommer rådet att forma inriktning och planer för arbetet. Klimatpolitiska rådet kommer att koncentrera sitt arbete till hur Sverige ska nå klimatmålen genom utsläppsminskningar och kompletterande åtgärder. Klimatanpassningsfrågor ingår inte i rådets arbetsområde.Sverige är inte det första landet som instiftar ett klimatpolitiskt råd. I bland annat Storbritannien, Danmark och Finland finns sedan flera år tillbaka liknande organ. I Sverige bidrar redan många andra myndigheter och organisationer på olika sätt med analys och kunskapsunderlag kring klimatpolitiken. Klimatpolitiska rådet har en unik roll bland myndigheter genom sitt fokus på den samhälleliga klimatomställningen, sitt oberoende och sitt breda mandat att utvärdera regeringens samlade politik.

Klimatpolitiska rådets rapport 2019
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Klimatpolitiska rådet bildades den 1 januari 2018 som en del av Sveriges klimatpolitiska ramverk. Ramverket antogs året innan av en mycket bred majoritet i riksdagen.Rådets uppdrag är att utvärdera hur regeringens samlade politik är förenlig med de klimatmål som riksdagen och regeringen har beslutat. Arbetet ska redovisas i en årlig rapport. Denna första granskningsrapport är en genomlysning av den samlade politikens utformning i förhållande till klimatmålen. Den innehåller också våra kommentarer till regeringens första klimatredovisning i 2019 års budgetproposition. Utifrån detta presenterar vi ett antal övergripande observationer och rekommen-dationer. Därutöver har rådet i denna rapport valt att ytterligare fördjupa utvärderingen av politikens påverkan på klimatmålet för inrikes transporter.Klimatpolitiska rådet har fått ett brett och komplext uppdrag. Det finns inga beprövade metoder för att utvärdera hela regeringens politik mot ett långsiktigt mål. Det första årets arbete har delvis handlat om att utveckla arbetssätt och metoder samt att skapa dialog med andra myndigheter och aktörer. Vår ambition är att presentera en rapport som är vetenskapligt grundad och praktiskt användbar för regeringen och riksda-gen. Utifrån det första årets erfarenheter kommer sedan rådets arbete och rapporter att fortsätta utvecklas. Vi vill framföra vårt tack till alla de organisationer, forskare, experter och praktiker som har bidragit till den här rapporten genom att skicka in skriftliga underlag samt delta i seminarier och dialoger skriftliga underlag, seminarier och dialoger. Utöver att ge rekommendationer till regering och riksdag hoppas vi att rapporten ska bidra till en framåtsyftande diskussion mellan alla de aktörer som berörs av Sveriges klimatmål och som behövs för att de ska uppnås.

Funding ecological restoration policy in practice : patterns of short-termism and regional biases
- 2016

Ingår i: Land use policy. - : Elsevier. - 0264-8377 .- 1873-5754. ; 52, s. 439-453
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- With continuous degradation of ecosystems combined with the recognition of human dependence on functioning ecosystems, global interest in ecological restoration (ER) has intensified. From being merely a nature conservation measure, it is today advanced as a way to improve ecosystem functions, mitigate biodiversity loss and climate change, as well as renew human–nature relationships. However, ER is a contested and diversified term used in research, policy and practice. Substantive public funding is allocated towards this end worldwide, but little is known about its concrete purpose and coverage, as well as what decides its allocation. With inspiration from environmental funding literature we analyze the case of Sweden to provide the first national overview of public ER funding. The understudied political context of ER is thus addressed but also regional variation in funding allocation. A database of all national government funding programs between 1995 and 2011 that included projects and sub-programs aiming at practical ER measures was created. Results show that ER activities counted for 11% (130 million USD) of the total government nature conservation funding. Water environments were highly prioritized, which can be explained by economic and recreational motives behind ER. The ER funding was unevenly distributed geographically, not related to either environmental need or population size, but rather to regional administrative capacity. It was also found to be small scale and short term, and hence part of a general trend of "project proliferation" of public administration which runs contrary to ecosystem based management. As ER is not yet a long-term investment in Sweden, commonly seen as an environmental lead state, we expect even less and more short-term ER funding in other countries.

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This special issue brings together prominent scholars to explore novel multilevel governance challenges posed by the behavior of dynamic and complex social-ecological systems. Here we expand and investigate the emerging notion of “resilience” as a perspective for understanding how societies can cope with, and develop from, disturbances and change. As the contributions to the special issue illustrate, resilience thinking in its current form contains substantial normative and conceptual difficulties for the analysis of social systems. However, a resilience approach to governance issues also shows a great deal of promise as it enables a more refined understanding of the dynamics of rapid, interlinked and multiscale change. This potential should not be underestimated as institutions and decision-makers try to deal with converging trends of global interconnectedness and increasing pressure on social-ecological systems.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The challenges of environmental and sustainability governance such as dealing with competing goals, multiple interest perspectives and inherent wicked problems increasingly call for collaborative approaches in planning, policy-making, and public management. The collaboration of a diverse mix of public and private organizations is expected to bring resources, knowledge, and perspectives that may reconcile conflicts and improve policy effectiveness. As such, collaborative environmental governance contains considerable promises, seeking to restore trust in government. In this chapter, we will depict how collaborative environmental governance has emerged in current environmental and natural resource policy practice, and discuss the underlying premises for fruitful collaboration. The concept brings in ideas from a range of literatures on planning and policy studies, and overlaps considerably with the concept of network governance. We portray some of the most prominent analytical approaches to collaboration in environmental governance, and end with a section on practical implications and future research challenges.

Devolving power from the state : local initiatives for nature protection and recreation in Sweden
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Local Environment. - : Routledge. - 1354-9839 .- 1469-6711. ; 25:6, s. 433-446
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Quests for devolving more power to local actors for nature protection stem from both international and national policies. Also, there is a growing recognition of the need for local governments to promote green infrastructure for citizens to recreate and learn about their environment. Starting in 2004, the Swedish government has allocated special funding towards these goals through the Local Nature Conservation Programme (LONA). Virtually all Swedish municipalities have received such funding in pursuit of facilitating wide access to nature and promoting recreational activities, including the protection of nature areas, creating pathways, information devices, and promoting these areas among new societal groups to enjoy. This study presents the results of ten years of experience with LONA. A survey with respondents from 191 municipalities and 20 county administrations, together with 20 key informant interviews, show that the programme has been a success in several respects. Not only have most municipalities created a wealth of new ways to engage local organisations and citizens in nature conservation and recreation, but they have also broadened the ways they think about how nature is important to their constituencies. Due to innovative ways to count voluntary work as local matching of funding, smaller and less resourceful municipalities have also become engaged. Still, the local needs for further initiatives are deemed considerable. State support coupled with knowledge sharing is important to show policy priority to such bottom-up initiatives.

Evaluation of the Social Sciences in Norway : Report from the Principal Evaluation Committee
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the evaluation of Social Science research in Norway (SAMEVAL) was to review the present state of social science research in Norway as a basis for recommendations on the future development of research. The evaluation covered six research areas: geography, economics, political science, sociology, social anthropology and the economic-administrative research area. It included 3005 social scientists in total and 42 institutions, both 27 faculties/departments at universities and university colleges, and 15 publicly financed social science research institutes. The evaluation further comprised 136 research groups within those institutions.Based on the six disciplinary evaluation reports, the principal committee finds that a large number of institutions and research groups are performing well across the social sciences, above the Nordic and OECD averages in terms of the bibliometric analysis (Damvad 2017). A high proportion of the research groups evaluated are performing very well. The distribution of scientific grades is rather even among the six evaluated disciplines, and centred around the two grades good and very good, but with Social Anthropology and Economics performing particularly well compared to international standards. Still, there is an opportunity to get much more out of the social science research, to make further international impact, advance theoretical debates and develop critical thinking. The principal committee therefore calls for striking a better balance between basic and applied research. For institutions with high levels of core funding, this might involve directly allocating core funding to basic research. Elsewhere, more funding might be allocated to ‘free research’ in pursuit of more theoretically driven research as formulated by the researchers themselves rather than steered by programmatic topics.All of the panels were struck by the large number of institutions pursuing social science research, spread extensively over the country, with many research units separated even within a particular region. Creating critical mass of disciplinary research in rather small research groups and/or multidisciplinary environments therefore constitutes a considerable challenge. Various forms of national as well as international networking and collaboration within the disciplines is therefore imperative. The situation also calls for more strategic thought both by the Government and by the respective institutions as to who should do what, and how this might be sufficiently funded. In addition, the principal committee suggests that the PhD education could be strengthened by national coordination given the small numbers of disciplinary PhD students in almost all environments except the Oslo region.Interdisciplinary research is a strong feature of the Norwegian research landscape as compared with many other countries. Partly, this could be a reaction to the stronger emphasis on strategic and/or thematic research but it is also likely a response to resolving the issue of many small social science environments. While the strong interdisciplinary research is a considerable asset, there are also associated risks in how to assure sufficient disciplinary depth and methodological innovation in such research.The SAMEVAL evaluation called for assessing societal relevance and impact of social science research. However, a majority of institutions reported largely their dissemination activities, rather than the relevance and impact for different societal actors, suggesting that the methods and application of such assessments need to be further discussed and developed. Overall, however, there is no doubt that Norwegian social science has considerable relevance for a large range of public and private societal actors and activities, and that a large number of ‘good practice’ research impact cases were displayed by the social science institutions.

Evaluation of the Social Sciences in Norway : Report from Panel 3 – Political Science
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Panel 3 evaluated 53 units in all, 22 institutional units and 31 research groups. The evaluation included university departments of political science, political scientists working in interdisciplinary units at universities and university colleges, and political scientists working at interdisciplinary research institutes.Broadly speaking, Norwegian Political Science is doing well. Our assessments of the scientific output across institutes and research groups show that the impact varies between fair and excellent, even though we underline the limitations of such an oversimplified classification scheme. The panel observes variation in the scientific quality impact of institutions, especially within the Oslo region compared with most other parts of Norway. The majority of subdisciplines are well covered. A substantial number of studies focus on conflict, peace and policy studies (food, climate, energy etc.). Much of the research focuses on Norway and is directly relevant to Norwegian society. Some of the work makes significant theoretical contributions, but most of it mainly offers a strong empirical dimension.However, some areas receive relatively little attention, such as classical and modern political theory, political economy and political history. The range of comparative work could also be broader. Given the available human capital, funding and other resources, the panel finds that Political Science in Norway is not realising its full potential. There is a tendency – at both the research institutes and universities – to rely too much on policy-oriented research funding, which might be an obstacle to pursuing more innovative and ground-breaking conceptual work. Likewise, the recruitment of a new generation of political scientists in the form of PhD students and postdocs is largely driven by project funding, thereby limiting their scope to develop their own topics or ideas. A few institutions have accessed international (mainly EU) funding, but the many smaller units lack the scale and resources required to compete for such funds. These researchers would do well to develop (counter-) strategies that enable them to participate in larger projects, including H2020 proposals. Diversification of funding is a general recommendation for the majority of evaluated units.The panel’s assessment of research groups revealed considerable variation between the institutes with regard to their purpose and ‘social life’. The panel considers a constructive and enabling research environment to be the most valuable function of a research group, while at the same time ensuring that individual researchers have autonomy to develop their own research agendas. The panel notes that many of the high-scoring research groups have a good support structure within their departments or institutions, whereas some of the weaker ones lack such support. Joint activities aimed at raising scientific quality, such as regular work-in-progress seminars, article or book manuscript review sessions, mock research grant interviews, staff retreats, and (international) guest speakers, are ways of going forward. More could also be done to target high-profile international journals and publishers, while maintaining a broader perspective on modes of scientific output beyond peer-reviewed articles.In light of the considerable organisational fragmentation of Political Science in Norway, and corresponding problems of scale, more collaboration across institutions within the country is generally desirable. Researcher mobility within Norway and internationally could also be expanded. This could to help to bring political science environments closer together, both in their research and in PhD and postdoc training, thereby strengthening Political Science as a discipline.

External Evaluation of the NMBU Faculty Landscape and Society’s IEDS and SDP PhD Programmes
- 2023
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Evaluative summary according to our mandate:1. Academic quality: We find that the PhD education for both study programmes demonstrate high acadmeic quality with clear learning outcomes, structure, education process, content and academic/supervisory support.2. Formal requirements: We find that all the formal requirements are being met, but that there are some remianing challenges esepciella in relation to completion in time. We have concerns about the effects from that NMBU no longer applies a 4th year of study with duty work, and that alternative financing models for a 4th year is not pursued.3. Study program and content: Both programmes are important with distinct profiles, attracting enough well-qualified PhD candidates and both have societal relevance. However, shrinking internal resources for funding of PhD positions constitutes a threat that needs to be addressed.4. Strategy and syneriges: Tha Faculty's PhD education, including its national/international relevance and networking is good, but could be further strengthened. Synpergies between PhD programmes at LANDSAM and NMBU could be obtained by increased course collaboartion. LANDSAM should simplify the administrative oversight between the two PhD programmes.5. Administration/organisation: We see opportunities for more efficient organisational leadreship and administrative support which would clarify roles and responsibilities across those involved in the two PhD programmes.

Future Forest Governance : Multiple Challenges, Diverging Responses
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Forest Futures. - : Springer. ; , s. 83-97
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter analyzes the implications of current global trends in forest governance, with increased complexity leading to the emergence of new conflicts over common-good values between various interests, and the emergence of new policy instruments and alliances. Still however, with such multilevel and policycentric policy-making developing in parallel with growing neoliberal economic agendas worldwide, the degree of sustainable management outcomes in forest governance remains highly dependent on strong states and leadership not least through the European Union to ensure civil-society accountability and counteract asymmetric power relationships.

Genomförande av innovationsstöd i landsbygdsprogrammet 2014–2020 : Slutrapport för en löpande lärande utvärdering av EIP-Agri
- 2021
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- I landsbygdsprogrammet går det att få stöd för att skapa innovationer inomjordbruks-, trädgårds- och rennäringen. Innovationsstödet kallas EIP-Agri (European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability) och genomförs i många av EU:s medlemsländer. Målet med EIP-Agri-stödet är att skapa innovationer som bidrar till att öka konkurrenskraften på den svenska landsbygden och uppfylla nationella miljö- och klimatmål. Stödet handläggsav Jordbruksverket och kan sökas i två steg: som ett gruppstöd för att bilda en innovationsgrupp som förberedelse för en påtänkt innovation och som ett genomförandestöd för ett planerat innovationsprojekt. Totalt har EIP-Agristödet hittills omfattat 440 miljoner kronor i Sverige.I den här slutrapporten presenterar vi vår utvärdering av EIP-Agri-stödet i Sverige. Utvärderingen har pågått 2016–2021 och varit löpande lärande, vilket innebär att vi följt och analyserat arbetet med stödet och fört en dialog med berörda tjänstepersoner. I utvärderingens första fas fokuserade vi på själva ansöknings- och beslutsprocessen genom att intervjua involverade tjänstepersoner inom EIP-Agri och samla in uppgifter från de som sökt stöden genom en enkät. Vi intervjuade även personer på landets innovationskontor. I den andra fasen gjorde vi enbredare utvärdering av EIP-Agri-stödets möjliga och upplevda effekter baserat på litteraturstudier, intervjuer med ytterligare nyckelpersoner och fallstudier avgenomförda grupp- och genomförandestöd. Rapporten redogör också för hur EIP-Agri hanteras och hur kunskapsutbyte sker i en europeisk kontext. Slutligen diskuterar vi våra erfarenheter av löpande lärande som utvärderingsform och lämnar våra rekommendationer för framtida arbete.Blandade erfarenheter av handläggningsprocessenhos de som sökt stödetAnalysen av ansöknings- och beslutsprocessen visar bland annat att1. rollfördelningen mellan handläggare och berörda beslutsfattare på Jordbruksverket samt innovationssupporten på Landsbygdsnätverket varotydliga till en början men har formaliserats allteftersom, och tolkningen avbegreppet innovation bland dessa aktörer är föremål för fortsatt diskussioninom EIP-Agri2. majoriteten av de som sökt stödet är missnöjda med ansökningsprocesseneftersom handläggningstiderna varit långa och det funnits många krav påkompletteringar3. möjligheten att söka gruppstöd är en styrka som kan utökas ytterligare,medan kraven på genomförandestödet bör ses över4. EIP-Agri-stödets koppling till andra innovationssatsningar har varit mycketbegränsad, men det finns stora möjligheter till samverkan.Svårt att mäta stödets effekter i samhälletAnalysen av EIP-Agri-stödets effekter försvåras av att det finns en stor mängd mål formulerade på olika nivåer som inte går att utvärdera och mäta effekterna av med den information som finns i EIP-Agris databas. Utvärderingen visar att många av de enskilda innovationsprojekten anser sig ha uppnått sina mål, men de vidare effekterna i samhället vad gäller ökad konkurrenskraft och nationella miljö- och klimatmål har inte gått att utvärdera.Samverkan och breda nätverk framhålls som viktigaframgångsfaktorerUtvärderingen visar att breda kompetenser inom innovationsgruppen är en viktig förutsättning för framgång. Det är alltså viktigt att både forskare och praktiker ingår och samverkar i innovationsgruppen, något som ofta – men kanske inte alltid – är fallet. Det saknas dock idag en strategisk koppling mellan EIP-Agri och relevanta forskningssatsningar. Likaså bör gruppernas kompetenser längre ut i marknadskedjan stärkas ytterligare.En annan faktor är vikten av nationella och internationella nätverk. Vissa sådana nätverk har använts, och interna EIP-projektträffar har varit uppskattade. Men nätverken behöver utvecklas och kopplas samman i större utsträckning för att stödja nytänkande, något som brister i dagens kunskaps- och innovationssystem.Slutligen är det viktigt att en ny innovation når marknaden för att få effekt isamhället. Men marknadstillträde kan EIP-Agri-stödet inte finansiera, vilket gör att man måste söka flera olika stöd. Det behöver därför skapas möjligheter tillsynergier mellan olika myndigheters innovationsstöd.

Incentives for collaborative governance : top-down and bottom-up initiatives in the Swedish mountain region
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Mountain Research and Development Journal. - 0276-4741 .- 1994-7151. ; 35:3, s. 289-298
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Governance collaborations between public and private partners are increasingly used to promote sustainable mountain development, yet information is limited on their nature and precise extent. This article analyzes collaboration on environment and natural resource management in Swedish mountain communities to critically assess the kinds of issues these efforts address, how they evolve, who leads them, and what functional patterns they exhibit based on Margerum's (2008) typology of action, organizational, and policy collaboration. Based on official documents, interviews, and the records of 245 collaborative projects, we explore the role of the state, how perceptions of policy failure may inspire collaboration, and the opportunities that European Union funds have created. Bottom-up collaborations, most of which are relatively recent, usually have an action and sometimes an organizational function. Top-down collaborations, however, are usually organizational or policy oriented. Our findings suggest that top-down and bottom-up collaborations are complementary in situations with considerable conflict over time and where public policies have partly failed, such as for nature protection and reindeer grazing. In less contested areas, such as rural development, improving tracks and access, recreation, and fishing, there is more bottom-up, action-oriented collaboration. State support, especially in the form of funding, is central to explaining the emergence of bottom-up action collaboration. Our findings show that the state both initiates and coordinates policy networks and retains a great deal of power over the nature and functioning of collaborative governance. A practical consequence is that there is great overlap—aggravated by sectorized approaches—that creates a heavy workload for some regional partners.

Kan certifiering styra mot minskade klimatutsläpp?
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Kungl. Skogs- och Lantbruksakademiens Tidskrift. - Stockholm. - 0023-5350. ; :4, s. 37-41
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Det finns stora förväntningar på att olika former av certifiering ska sätta tryck på producenterna och hjälpa konsumenterna att välja de mest hållbara lösningarna. För konsumenterna handlar det både om att veta hur man kan göra gott för miljön i stort, men också om att få bättre hälsa som individ genom att äta, bo och röra sig med nyttigare livsstil.Hur fungerar då sådan certifiering som styrning för minskad miljöpåverkan och klimatutsläpp? Förstår man som konsument vad certifieringen innebär? Kan man lita på certifieringen? Kan certifieringssystemen förbättras, och i så fall hur? Det var några av de frågor som diskuterades på ett KSLA-seminarium 2 november 2017 med hjälp av en rad inbjudna talare. Denna artikel bygger både på vad som sades på seminariet, och på vetenskaplig litteratur om hur certifiering fungerar i praktiken.

Miljøinstituttene i Norge : Hovedrapport
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Norges forskningsråd har startet en omfattende evaluering av alle forskningsinstitutter som er underlagt Retningslinjer for statlig basisfinansiering. Denne evalueringen er den første i denne runden, og omfatter de åtte instituttene som utgjør miljøarenaen i basisfinansieringssystemet.Utvalget har både vurdert instituttene enkeltvis og sett på det samlede systemet som instituttene inngår i. Hensikten med evalueringen har både vært å gi råd for utforming av nasjonal instituttpolitikk, gi grunnlag for videre utvikling av Forskningsrådets virkemidler og å være til nytte for instituttene selv i deres eget utviklings- og strategiarbeid.Arbeidet med evalueringen har pågått fra mai 2014 til april 2015. I løpet av denne tiden har utvalget hatt fem møter, hvorav én samling hvor utvalget møtte alle instituttene. Som bakgrunn for evalueringen har utvalget hatt instituttenes egenevalueringer, en egen brukerundersøkelse, en faktarapport samt en rekke opplysninger som er skaffet til veie underveis ved hjelp av Forskningsrådet og Nordisk institutt for studier av innovasjon, forskning og utdanning (NIFU). NIFU har også vært sekretær for arbeidet ved forskningsleder Espen Solberg.Evalueringen har bygget på et bredt mandat, som har omfattet en gjennomgang av instituttenes roller, formål og oppgaver, deres rammevilkår, instituttenes samspill og samarbeid, relevans for brukerne samt fremtidige utfordringer og muligheter. Det har vært en meget interessant men også krevende oppgave å dekke disse dimensjonene for en så heterogen gruppe av institutter. Arbeidet har også vist at instituttene har et sterkt fokus på strategisk utvikling og tilpasning til nye utfordringer og muligheter. Utvalget håper at evalueringen vil bidra med verdifulle perspektiver til disse prosessene, og at den vil utgjøre et nyttig kunnskapsgrunnlag for både instituttene, Forskningsrådet, departementer og øvrige myndigheter på feltet.Evalueringsutvalget vil rette en spesiell takk til de åtte miljøinstituttene for den innsatsen da har lagt ned i egenevalueringene og for svært interessante og nyttige samtaler under utvalgets møter med instituttene. Utvalget vil også takke Forskningsrådet for utmerket tilrettelegging gjennom hele prosessen samt til NIFU for et godt samarbeid om utformingen av rapporten og sammenfatningen av materialet fra evalueringen.Evalueringen er utarbeidet i fellesskap og er enstemmig.

Promises and dilemmas in forest fire management decision-making : exploring conditions for community engagement in Australia and Sweden
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Forest Policy and Economics. - : Elsevier. - 1389-9341 .- 1872-7050. ; 80, s. 133-140
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Prescribed burning, to prevent larger fires or to encourage ecological restoration, is a highly contested practice, raising both complex practical questions relating to safety and techniques, and deep philosophical questions about the relationship between people and nature. Previous research either analyses conflict in forest fire management, or argues for social learning but does not discuss how this might happen. We explore what community engagement in fire management might contribute, and how policy conditions enable or constrain deliberative practices in fire management in two very different countries, Sweden and Australia. In Sweden, burning is gradually emerging on foresters' and nature conservationists' agendas, whereas in Australia, prescribed burning has been practiced and debated on a relatively broad scale for some time. Both countries rely much on technical expertise, while merging this with local knowledge in transformative processes in which conflicts and difference have a place could enhance the quality of the debates.

Steering 'green' innovation policy toward sustainability? Lessons from implementing EIP-AGRI in Sweden
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions. - : Elsevier. - 2210-4224 .- 2210-4232. ; 48
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article critically examines the state's steering capacity of ‘green innovation’ programs using Sweden's implementation of the agricultural European Innovation Partnership (EIP-AGRI) as a case representing part of the EU's Green Deal. The innovations should promote the competitiveness of rural areas and contribute to national environmental protection and climate goals.We found that despite expectations, implementation rests on compartmentalized networking within the agricultural sector, prioritizing increased ‘competitiveness’ before ‘green’ development, and interpreting ‘innovation’ mainly in the technical sense. The results indicate that the state´s steering capacity of ‘green innovation’ programs meets several obstacles: the overall goals from the top tend to be both too many and too vague, leaving it to the administration to interpret what kinds of features should be prioritized from below. The state's steering in the case of EIP-AGRI relies mostly on internal agricultural expertise contrary to previous research that suggests a recent ‘de-compartmentalisation’ of European agricultural policymaking.
