When negative feedback becomes self-undermining: Instrument termination in environmental regulation
Termination of public policy is a notoriously challenging research topic. Our study focuses on how policy feedback dynamics can potentially result in termination. The concept of policy feedback has mainly been applied to explain policy continuity. Recent scholarly advancements have directed attention to negative and self-undermining feedback, offering nuanced insights into feedback dynamics and their impact on policy evolution. This perspective h…
Differentiated policy implementation in food safety and animal welfare policymaking
Agri‐food policies are in the midst of far‐reaching transitions, including the transformation towards sustainable production and food consumption. The European Green Deal and Farm to Fork Strategy prioritize food safety and animal welfare issues, aiming to transform food systems towards more sustainability. Despite existing EU legislation, little is known about how EU agri‐food policies are implemented across member states. Our analysis addresses…
Conditions Favoring the Reduction of Pesticides: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of EU Member States
Pesticide use in agricultural production presents a significant sustainability challenge, balancing crop protection against environmental and health risks. While the EU pro-vides a common regulatory framework, the implementation in the member states varies considerably. By means of a fsQCA we investigate the conditions for implementation success of pesticide reduction policies. Building on recent literature on differentiated policy implementation…
Rules as data
Rules lie at the core of many disciplines beneath regulatory studies. Such a broad interest inevitably comes with fragmented understandings and technical choices that hinder knowledge cumulation and learning. This introduction tackles these limitations through an encompassing analytical blueprint from measurement theory. First, it addresses ambiguities to establish formal rules as a distinct research object. Then, it builds on legal, institutiona…
How does the professionalisation of farmer collectives enable effective agri-environmental schemes? A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of 36 Dutch farmer collectives
Agriculture is the main land use and one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. In particular, intensive farming practices have contributed to biodiversity loss, which is why many governments have implemented agri-environmental schemes (AES). Farmer collaboration at landscape level is important to achieve effective AES. The Dutch government opted for such an approach and decided that only farmer collectives were entitled to take part in AES. I…
Designing successful agri-environmental schemes: A mechanistic analysis of a collective scheme for eco-system services in the Netherlands
In response to the challenges posed by the fragmentation of habitats and loss of native biodiversity, climate change adaptation and mitigation, diverse agri-environmental measures have been initiated across the European Union (EU) with the aim of fostering agricultural ecosystem service delivery. Previous studies adopting a governance perspective have identified various determinants of successful agri-environmental measures. However, the explanat…
Governance tools for urban food system policy innovations in the Milano Urban Food Policy Pact
An increasing amount of cities are invested in developing innovative policies to make the food system more sustainable. This article investigates whether combinations of governance practices can explain why some of these cities develop highly innovative food policies across multiple dimensions of the food system – such as health and waste – while others are only limited in their innovativeness. Therefore, we apply fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparativ…
Identifying institutional configurations for policy outcomes: A comparison of ecosystem services delivery
This paper employs the Institutional Analysis and Development framework across six ecosystem delivery measures in the European Union to develop a configurational explanation of (un)successful outcomes. By undertaking comparative institutional analysis, we systematically examine the effect of variation across rule types and generate insights on how different institutional configurations result in varying degrees of successful implementation of eco…
Identifying diverse paths toward successful policy performance in Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) and European Union countries: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) e…
Although the policy performance field acknowledges the importance of adopting a long‐term decision making perspective to attain more sustainable policy outcomes, it overlooks the way in which sustainable governance conditions and policy performance relate to each other. We address this gap by investigating why some countries succeed in terms of policy performance while others do not. Applying a fuzzy‐set QCA to 41 Organization for Economic Co‐ope…
Expertise, politics and public opinion at the crossroads of the European Commission’s decision-making: The case of Glyphosate
With the growing politicisation of European Union (EU) integration, the European Commission is increasingly facing a tension between technocratic and responsive decision-making. How does this tension play out in the process of supranational implementation under comitology rules? We argue that the tension between the Commission ́s role as a technocrat and as a responsive bureaucrat takes place during the implementation process when the issue at st…
