Miljöhänsyn inom EU:s sektorspolitik - integrering genom "nya" policyinstrument?
(2007)Department of Political Science
- Abstract
- To integrate environmental concerns into non-environmental policy making has become an important policy objective within the European Union. This essay investigates policy instruments in use to achieve environmental policy integration in the EU's transport sector respectively fisheries sector. The point of departure is a theoretical discussion about governance and the use of different policy instruments for environmental management at the EU-level. The focal point is the argumentation that regulatory policy instruments alone cannot achieve environmental policy integration satisfactory.

- To integrate environmental concerns into non-environmental policy making has become an important policy objective within the European Union. This essay investigates policy instruments in use to achieve environmental policy integration in the EU's transport sector respectively fisheries sector. The point of departure is a theoretical discussion about governance and the use of different policy instruments for environmental management at the EU-level. The focal point is the argumentation that regulatory policy instruments alone cannot achieve environmental policy integration satisfactory. By using Jordan et al's classification of so called "new" environmental policy instruments (market-based instruments, voluntary agreements and ecolabels) as complements to regulatory measures, the essay investigates whether the first-mentioned are used within the two sectors. It also identifies sector specific differences. Rather than making a quantitative comparison it elucidates whether these "new" instruments are used, and if so, as measures to integrate environmental concerns into the two sectors. The case study comparison shows that fiscal instruments and voluntary agreements within the transport sector are the only "new" instruments in use for the actual purpose. (Less)
