“…In addition, the analysis is also relevant for the PET. Although the PET already received ample empirical support across agendas, issues and nations, this application still adds to the understanding of the applicability of the theory (Princen et al, 2021; Yildirim, 2022). The PET has not been widely applied to policy domains related to the organizational structure of the government itself (polity) (Epp & Baumgartner, 2017).…”

While digital policies provide significant value within contemporary governance, not many governments' digital policies are adapted to rapidly changing technologies and associated expectations. The limited adaptability can be explained by governments' focus on institutional shifts as an instrument to generate policy changes. Therefore, this article examines the impact of institutional shifts on digital policy by leveraging the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET) as a lens to explore the Belgian federal government between 2000 and 2020. This is done through performing a distributional application of the PET and an explaining-outcome congruence case study. The results highlight the role of institutional shifts in directing digital policy, but also underscore the importance of other factors (i.e., policy image, attention allocation and/or structure of the political system) and the presence of policy entrepreneurs to explain the (in)stability of digital policy.

“…Data and best practices exchange. Another activity carried out within the enforcement of the CFP relates to a number of systems aimed at helping the involved actors in sharing data on fisheries activities (Princen, Siderius, and Villasante 2020). A central role in such respect is played by EFCA, which not only provides for the formal coordination of MS' enforcement activities but also supplies them with shared databases, systems and technologies to view, collect, share and (re)use data on fisheries-related activities (cf.…”

When the EU takes the field. Innovative forms of regulatory enforcement in the fisheries sector

One of the main weaknesses of the EU and causes of citizens' disaffection is its alleged scarce effectiveness in achieving its targets among various policy sectors. This, among other reasons, is due to member states' (MS) lack of compliance or uneven implementation performance, which, in turn, results from the traditional share of tasks, according to which the EU institutions adopt policies, while the MS implement them and enforce them. After many and reiterated actions by the EU, aiming to foster better and more complete compliance to EU law through soft measures and incentives to MS, another trend is emerging, by which the EU is gradually taking on direct enforcement competences in a growing number of policy sectors. Moreover, the ways through which the EU is taking the field in the enforcement phase are many and diverse, ranging from direct full enforcement powers to differently shared and networked roles with the MS and the other actors involved. In such evolving governance, a crucial role is played by EU agencies, established ad hoc or attributed new tasks to deal with enforcement issues. Arguing that such verticalization of the enforcement powers is an expanding trend, we take the fisheries sector as a case study. Among the Common Fisheries Policy, indeed, this phenomenon is already gaining traction and displays a variety of new configurations of powers. We find that verticalized enforcement takes on different shapes, depending on the specific sub-phase of the enforcement process, In addition, we provide insights on how enforcement mechanisms of the Common Fisheries Policy work in practice.
