Objective
To identify the conditions under which the application of the subsidiarity principle can improve environmental protection in cases of spatial related policies;to test the hypothesis that better mobilisation of those concerned locally brings about a more careful and informed management of local environmental problems.
OBJECTIVES:
To identify the conditions under which the application of the subsidiarity principle can improve environmental protection in cases of spatial related policies;to test the hypothesis that better mobilisation of those concerned locally brings about a more careful and informed management of local environmental problems.
DESCRIPTION:
The project analyses the implementation of subsidiarity through two case studies in each of the four countries (France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland) under examination. In each country, two contrasting cases are selected: a case concerning the building of a transport infrastructure, i.e. where a spatial related policy causes important environmental pressure locally, but diffuse economic benefit for the whole community; and a case of wetland site protection i.e. where environmental protection policy induces some important economic and property constraints at the local level, but an environmental advantage for the whole community.
Each of the eight case studies is conducted through an analysis of the decision making process, comprising three phases: the reconstruction of the chronology, an analysis of the actors involved and the interpretation of the results. International comparisons are developed to identify similarities and variations between the conditions of implementation of similar policies in different contexts of decentralisation. In this regard the countries selected represent a wide range of institutional settings: France is comparatively "centralised", Italy is moving towards regionalisation, Spain represents a mixed regime, and Switzerland has a federal system. A comparison between three countries within the European Community and one outside the EU (Switzerland) is used to better understand the specific effects of European policies in the areas under analysis and hence to make policy recommendations on the strategies for improving the implementation of European environmental policies.
