Die Kohäsionspolitik in der Europäischen Union (EU) ist weithin als Instrument zur Förderung des Aufholprozesses akzeptiert, d.h. zur Unterstützung von Mitgliedstaaten mit einem niedrigeren Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP) pro Kopf, um ein höheres Wirtschaftswachstum zu erzielen und so ähnlich...

Cohesion policy in the European Union (EU) has been widely accepted as a tool to advance the catch-up process, i.e., helping member countries with lower GDP per capita to grow faster economically in order to arrive at similarly high-income levels as member countries with higher GDP per capita....

Cities are increasingly affected by the changing climate and a corresponding mobility and immobility of people. Hence, localising global and national frameworks and policies on climate im/mobility at the city level is increasingly important. This discussion paper examines how urban governance in...

In the past, both researchers and policymakers have often underlined the important role cities have to play in reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Meanwhile, city networks have become increasingly active in approaching international...

Au cours des trente dernières années, les nouvelles formes et les nouveaux mécanismes de gouvernance se sont multipliés dans les régions frontalières d'Europe. La frontière franco-allemande a semblé se distinguer comme un adoptant précoce de nouveaux cadres de coopération, souvent...

In den letzten drei Jahrzehnten haben sich in den europäischen Grenzregionen neue Formen und Mechanismen der Governance herausgebildet. Die deutsch-französische Grenze scheint sich als frühes Anwendungsbeispiel neuer Kooperationsrahmen auszuzeichnen, die oft durch Entwicklungen auf...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how five different multi-level governance (MLG) models affect place branding (PB) performance in Saudi Arabia. Design/methodology/approach In hierarchical administrative systems, central governments exert control on PB, influencing its...

Local authorities are important actors in sustainability transformations, but smaller municipalities generally do not have the same capacities as larger ones to work strategically with climate‐related risks and long‐term sustainability issues. Our study analyses the efforts of two Swedish...

Over the past thirty years, new forms and mechanisms of governance have multiplied in the border regions of Europe. The French-German border has seemed to distinguish itself as an early adopter of new cooperation frameworks, often instigated by developments on the European level on the one hand...

Many metropolitan regions face concerns over sprawling development, increased costs of maintaining infrastructure, and loss of green space and farmland. Some metropolitan regions have intentionally created spatial policies to govern development patterns and manage growth within their region....

Das EU-Mehrebenensystem verhandelt den Einfluss der europäischen Organe auf die einzelstaatliche Souveränität fortlaufend neu. Sozialpolitik gilt dabei traditionell als Domäne der Mitgliedsstaaten. Kann man jedoch an dieser Stelle noch von politischer Autonomie der Nationalstaaten sprechen...

The DFG research group, "Overlapping Spheres of Authority and Interface Conflicts in the Global Order" (OSAIC), focuses on the rise of interface conflicts within and across overlapping spheres of authority. The increased institutional production of norms in the international realm leads to both...

Governance of climate mitigation and adaptation has been discussed within polycentric and multi‐level governance perspectives. Both perspectives on climate governance are intimately related but yet in some regards are distinctly different ‐ as one perspective has evolved from empirical...

This paper compares the different multi-level climate and energy governance in China, the European Union and the United States. While many comparisons across these three economies exist, they concentrate on comparing the climate and energy “policy instruments” and their results. This paper...

Der Beitrag zeichnet den Entstehungsprozess von Governance-Strukturen in der "Metropolregion Mitteldeutschland" in den Jahren 2013 und 2014 nach, die entscheidend waren für die noch heute tragenden Strukturen. Rahmenbedingungen für diesen Prozess waren der Anspruch länderübergreifender...

Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Medienvielfaltssicherung stellt diese Studie die Kompetenzverteilung zwischen EU und Mitgliedstaaten im Mediensektor dar. Dabei wird nicht nur der primär- und sekundärrechtliche Rechtsrahmen eingehend analysiert, sondern auch Anknüpfungspunkte für die...

In April 2019, the European Union (EU) revised its fuel economy policy for new passenger cars (PC). The new standard set an ambitious policy framework that featured high CO2 caps on these vehicles from 2025 and 2030 with limited flexibility for automobile industry to comply with the new...

In federal countries the allocation of renewable energy (RE) deployment is simultaneously regulated by national and subnational governments. We analyze the efficiency of federal coregulation when different types of policy instruments - price and quantity - are assigned to government levels....

Science diplomacy recently has gained a remarkable foothold in European policymaking. Both the European Commission and many Member States use the term to label a whole range of issues and activities in their respective policies. This prompts the question what exactly is the current role of the...

One of the most important features of the multi-level governance research programme is the parallel conceptualisation of the vertical and the horizontal relationships within multi-level governance systems. Different systems of multi-level governance are characterised by the relationships between...

Renewable energy (RE) policies are widely used to decarbonize power generation and implemented at various governance levels. We use an analytically tractable two-level model to study the effects of overlapping RE policies from the federal and state governments. We find that there are contrasting...

The initiatives related to the Pan-European, later TEN-T, and, finally, Core Network Corridors, are considered the first instrument for territorial cohesion in Europe - even before spatial development policies. Therefore, their significance in connecting various territories across Europe is...
