  • Covid-19 as a systemic shock: Curb or catalyst for proactive policies towards territorial cohesion

    Stéphane Bourdin, John Moodie et al.ARTICLERegional Studies2023Cited by: 11References: 10

    The COVID-19 pandemic, originating as a health crisis but quickly expanding to other social spheres, had significant and asymmetric impacts across Europe, which potentially undermine territorial cohesion. Much has been written about the overall impact of the pandemic on the underlying thematic and budgetary focus of European Union-level policies with respect to territorial cohesion. However, it remains unclear to what extent policies implemented …

  • Transboundary Marine Spatial Planning in European Sea Basins: Experimenting with Collaborative Planning and Governance

    Open AccessJohn Moodie, Franziska SielkerARTICLEPlanning Practice and Research2022

    This article employs a multi-disciplinary planning and political science perspective to examine transboundary marine spatial planning (TMSP) in European sea basins through a collaborative governance and planning framework. The article argues that TMSP is a breeding ground for collaborative planning and governance in the Baltic Sea, North Sea and Adriatic Sea Regions. Collaborative governance and planning models can be developed into an effective …

  • Challenges and Enablers to Integrate Land-Sea-Interactions in Cross-Border Marine and Coastal Planning: Experiences from the Pan Baltic Scope Collaboration

    Open AccessAndrea Morf, John Moodie et al.ARTICLEPlanning Practice and Research2022

    This paper analyses challenges and enablers for integrating a transboundary land-sea interaction (LSI) perspective into marine spatial planning (MSP) practice as experienced in the Baltic Sea Region. Collaborative research results from the Pan Baltic Scope project indicate that LSI remains an amorphous concept, particularly within a transboundary MSP context. Difficulty lies in bridging planning practices across land and sea and between varying u…

  • Territorial governance and Smart Specialisation: Empowering the sub-national level in EU regional policy

    The concept of territorial governance has been promoted by the European Commission as a central element of European Regional Policy. This article examines the key dimensions of territorial governance, arguing that it is distinct but complementary to multilevel governance as it focuses on the mobilization of regional actor groups and the integration of indigenous knowledge into policymaking processes. It further explores whether there is merit in …

  • Why territory matters for implementing active subsidiarity in EU regional policy

    John Moodie, Viktor Salenius et al.ARTICLERegional Studies2021Cited by: 4References: 7

    The concept of active subsidiarity advocated by the European Commission has important implications for European Union (EU) regional policy. This article examines the main tenets of active subsidiarity and how they relate to competing notions of territory and key regional policymaking instruments for the 2021–27 programme period. It finds that territory matters in EU regional policy, as clearly defined nested regional boundaries provide an importa…

  • Cynical or Deliberative? An Analysis of the European Commission’s Public Communication on Its Use of Expertise in Policy-Making

    Open AccessCathrine Holst, John MoodieARTICLEPolitics and Governance2015Cited by: 3References: 36

    The European Commission has faced increasing criticism that its use of expertise in policy-making is undemocratic and politicized. In response to critics, the Commission has produced a number of publicly available documents where its expert policies and practices are outlined and discussed. Cynics view public communications of this nature with skepticism, as organizations tend to adopt “smooth talk” and cosmetic rhetoric designed to placate criti…

The article analyses the nature and character of the Commission’s dialogue with its critics and the degree and extent to which it was prepared to adapt its existing internal processes and procedures to the reform agenda. Recent theories inform us that organisatio…
