But there are<br>some critical aspects regarding participatory governance that is so far little discussed in the literature,<br>and which require careful empirical analysis. How does participatory governance actually work in a<br>regional context, i.e. among neighboring states sharing environmental problems? What is required by<br>civil society actors to make a substantial impact within such governance arrangements?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general aim of this project is to gain new knowledge on the conditions for environmental<br>organizations to play an influential role within regional participatory governance arrangements that aim to cope with environmental problems that stretch beyond national borders. We focus on marine<br>environmental problems and use a qualitative, comparative approach by including the Baltic Sea and the Adriatic Sea, and six selected nations within these regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main questions addressed relate to how political institutions and legislation, on both national and<br>international levels, shape environmental organizations\u2019 conditions to be part of environmental<br>governance processes; how these organizations develop capabilities and make use of opportunities<br>provided by governance structures and processes; and how people engaged in these organizations gain essential knowledge and competences which are needed for taking part in governance arrangements.<br>Four researchers representing political science, sociology, public law and adult education will conduct<br>the study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-644","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ostersjostiftelsen.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ostersjostiftelsen.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ostersjostiftelsen.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ostersjostiftelsen.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
