“…The second environmental problem was the question of logging the Bialowieza Forest (Stokstad, 2017). Bialowieza Forest is the Europe's oldest forest located in Poland and Belarus, and is claimed to be the last of its kind (Bobiec, 2012 This action can be perceived as resulting from a more utilitarian, production-oriented approach, previously observed in redefining and reinterpreting international forest regulations (also in the case of the Bialowieza Forest; Logmani, Krott, Lecyk, & Giessen, 2017). The timber from the Bialowieza Forest was processed and sold despite the protests from scientists who claim that dead wood left in the forest benefits biodiversity (Stokstad, 2017 was a managed forest with long traditions of human intervention (Chołodowski, 2017).…”

“…The timber from the Bialowieza Forest was processed and sold despite the protests from scientists who claim that dead wood left in the forest benefits biodiversity (Stokstad, 2017 was a managed forest with long traditions of human intervention (Chołodowski, 2017). Thus, the value of the Bialowieza Forest was equated with other forest areas, reflecting the Polish government's utilitarian approach to forest management (Logmani et al, 2017).…”

“…However, policy change in 2001, requiring local community agreement for National Park enlargement resulted in a grid-lock of any further expansion. In 2009 minister Nowicki made attempts to engage the population of communities bordering the Park, but the comprehensive effort to map and address some of the fears fueling foresters' opposition to expansion (see Niedziałkowski 2016) was rejected by the local authorities and cut short by Nowicki's resignation (Niedziałkowski et al 2012, Logmani et al 2017.…”

While political environmentalism played an important role in social mobilization against communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe before 1989, throughout the 1990s and early 2000s conservationism appeared to be in decline across the region, and external pressure from European institutions and Western donors influenced environmental policy. What explains the effectiveness of protest since the environmental movement emerged in the 1980s? We trace the emergence and evolution of Polish political environmentalism, looking at three levels of the environmental movement's legitimacy: the level of practices, societal support, and discourse. Each phase identified between 1980s and 2017 saw shifts on different levels of legitimacy, and each ended with a spectacular environmental protest or a decision, bearing implications for the following phase. Since 2010, we see a deep polarization of Polish politics, limiting the effectiveness of environmental protest despite the movement's regained triple legitimacy in large parts of the society.

“…Third, scholars have investigated the management of regime complexes, defined as 'conscious efforts by any relevant actor or group of actors, in whatever form or forum, to address and improve institutional interaction and its effects' (Oberthür and Stokke 2011: 6. See also Logmani, Krott, Tymoteusz Lecyk and Giessen 2017;Young 2017;Naiki 2016).…”

International institutions are proliferating over a wide range of issue areas, creating what have recently been described as regime complexes. More than complicated arrangements, regime complexes are structures: they are more than the sum of their parts, i.e. individual international regimes. While the concept of international regimes holds strong promise in this direction, academic research on regime complexes has mostly focused on how agents shape regime complexes but less on how complexes influence agents. This contribution aims at filling this gap by studying the effects that regime complexes might have on global governance, focusing more narrowly on the effects of regime complexes on non-state actors' (NSAs) strategies with regard to agenda setting for new international regulations. More precisely, we hypothesise that regime complexes create an 'emulsifying effect' for pro-active NSAs to push for new regulations whereby the collective effect of non-state actors within and across regime complexes become greater than the sum of their individual effects within individual regimes. We use the examples of food security and biofuels regulations at the international level as a case study with a special focus on the European Union. KeywordsBiofuels; European Union; food security; non-state actors; regime complexes; renewable energy directive International institutions are proliferating over a wide range of issue areas, creating what has recently been described as 'regime complexes' (Orsini, Morin and Young 2013). For instance, no fewer than five key international institutions including the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the G20 deal with food security 1 (FS) at the international level. The analytical added value of regime complexes, with respect to the former conceptualisation of world politics, is to focus on the structure in which international institutions are embedded. More than complicated arrangements, regime complexes are structures: they are more than the sum of their parts, i.e. individual international regimes. While the concept of international regimes holds strong promise in this direction, academic research on regime complexes has mostly focused on how agents shape regime complexes most of the time through forum shopping, forum shifting or forum linking strategies (Orsini 2013). For example, Florian Rabitz explains how states influence the different elements of the regime complex of genetic resources to maintain their privileged position in managing worldwide genetic resources (Rabitz 2016). However, there is far less focus on how complexes influence agents. What does it mean for international actors to evolve in a context of regime complexes? Do regime complexes change the strategies of international actors? And if so, in what ways?This contribution seeks to fill this gap by studying the effects that regime complexes have on global governance. While this research ambition is vast, we narrow it down by looking at the effects of regime complexes on non-stat...
