“…A partir de la noción sobre el "ajuste" (Gualini, 2003) se explora la posibilidad de constituir un programa de investigación empírica que tome distancia del "nacionalismo metodológico" y pueda contribuir al avance del conocimiento y a la refinación teórica de los procesos relacionados con la política europea multinivel. El trabajo de Gualini, a través del caso italiano, reivindica la fuerza de la gobernanza multinivel en contra de una noción estado-céntrica y como una plataforma intermedia de innovaciones institucionales eficientes para toda Europa (Gualini, 2003;.…”

Este trabajo explora el debate contemporáneo sobre globalización y gobernanza, con el objeto de estudiar procesos de integración regional a partir de las redes de gobernanza transfronteriza en la región. Los procesos de privatización del sector eléctrico en América Latina aumentaron la coordinación público-privada y las alianzas intersectoriales: este es el caso del sector energético colombiano y de la empresa de Interconexión Eléctrica ISA. Este trabajo sugiere que el caso de ISA se puede caracterizar como uno de gobernanza interactiva que ha interconectado tres países de la región andina y uno del Mercosur a través de una infraestructura lineal de más de 35.000 km. Esta infraestructura ha integrado espacialmente una región caracterizada por procesos incompletos de integración. El estudio aborda el modelo de la compañía y su contribución a la gobernanza transfronteriza a partir de información aportada por la empresa y una serie de entrevistas con varios directivos.

“…The discourse on sub-national mobilization in MLG has developed with the aim of assessing the effect of EU policies on the capability of the member and candidate state administrations that enable their participation in EU decision and policy making as well as challenging their ability and influential power to apply and manipulate those policies at the local level. Related research focuses on how regional actors have become integrated into the complex European system of transnational decision-making in this enlarged EU framework in order to benefit more from the EU funding mechanisms (Hooghe, 1996;Ansell et al, 1997;Benz and Eberlein, 1999;Jeffrey, 2000;De Rooij 2002;Gualini, 2003;Hodgett, 2006;Smith, 2007). Structural funds that demand co-operative arrangement between local administrations, national government and the European Commission have emerged as one of the most important motivational elements of MLG for local authorities in the sub-national mobilization process.…”

“…He pointed out that there was a new, diverse and dynamic pattern of MLG, mostly influenced by the structural funding process that demanded higher level of sub-national involvement in European structural policy. De Rooij (2002) Gualini (2003) presented Italy as a country in which institutional capacity building under the framework of 2000-2006 structural funds fostered policy innovations, including MLG. Hodgett (2006) explored the role of the structural funds in Northern Ireland in changing the government into a facilitator and a voluntary sector as an important partner in democratizing society with a new multilevel and multiform structure.…”

This article focuses on multi level governance (MLG) in Turkey by examining EU pre-accession funds by developing an interdisciplinary, multidimensional approach integrating vertical and horizontal relations at different levels of governance with the main principles (concentration; programming; partnership and additionality) of EU structural funds. It analyzes the dual governance structure on the efficient utilization of EU funds allocated to 191 municipality and local authority projects executed under two calls covering seven NUTS II regions and twenty cities in Turkey and demonstrates the differences in efficiency levels by using an empirical approach. Results show that pre-accession funds promote the formation of an EU-model MLG structure by generating new forms of relations among the authorities at different levels. KEYWORDS: • multi-level governance • efficiency analysis • DEA • EU pre-accession funds • Turkey

“…The formal structure of public policy and the instruments used are thus shifting from a purely state configuration to one that also includes the EU. As a result, we should also expect an increasing role of regulation and formal public policy instruments [19,20], despite much literature having focused on the increasingly networked nature of decision-making.…”

Abstract:Recently, considerable focus, e.g., in the fifth IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Assessment Report (2014) has been trained on why adaptation and mitigation have not been developed more than at present, with relatively few local government actions taken compared with, for example, more discursive policy agreement on the importance of the issue of climate change. Going beyond a focus on general limits and barriers, this comment suggests that one important issue is that climate change has not yet been sufficiently integrated into the state regulative structure of legislation and policy-making. A comparison between three cases suggests that local developments that are not supported in particular by binding regulation are unlikely to achieve the same general level of implementation as issues for which such regulative demands (and thereby also requirements for prioritization) exist. This constitutes an important consideration for the development of adaptation and mitigation as policy areas, including on the local level.Keywords: climate change; adaptation; mitigation; local government; municipality; Finland; Norway; Denmark Challenges of Climate PolicyWhile increasing focus is placed on policy development in relation to climate change, it is yet unclear as to how successful or efficient these efforts developed so far are in terms of tackling climate change, both mitigation and adaptation. In reviewing the progress of adaptation, the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change notes that implementation has so far been relatively limited [1] and discusses multiple potential limitations and barriers to this. With regard to mitigation, the need for further development within international commitments, as well as national and sub-national development, is highlighted. To a large extent, then, the social complexity of implementation and gaining political will for the development in the face of multiple stressors may be regarded as limiting progress towards managing climate change [2][3][4]. This limitation means that there is a need to problematize the structure of implementation further.
