The transformative potential of Living Labs for biodiversity recovery
Living Labs are increasingly promoted with an aim to support sustainability transitions or transformations. In this article we explore the transformative potential of Living Labs, by interactively assessing three Living Labs for biodiversity recovery in the Netherlands with the aid of an existing reflexive assessment framework. Potentially transformative aspects of Living Labs include their local grounding and their focus on change, their diverse…
Exploring policy implementation arrangements in river restoration projects
Ecosystem degradation demands effective conservation, with river restoration offering a promising means to reinstate natural processes. The European Water Framework Directive seeks to improve ecological water quality, yet national implementation remains challenging. This study applies the policy arrangements approach (PAA) consisting of the four dimensions of actors, resources, institutions and discourses to analyse the policy implementation arra…

Integrating spatial planning and energy policy in The Netherlands
Despite The Netherlands' advanced spatial planning system and robust energy infrastructure, attempts to integrate energy policy and spatial planning for energy transition faced significant challenges. This paper examines these efforts and their impact on both systems within nation-wide discussions, using social systems theory to explore why a cohesive strategy failed to emerge. It draws on Luhmann’s theory of social systems and his concept of irr…
Between grassroots and treetops
The speed and progress of transitions towards renewable energy systems varies greatly between European member states. Among others, these differences have been attributed to the emergence of grassroots initiatives (GIs) that develop radical ideas and sustainable practices. The goal of this paper is to understand the differences in the emergence of GIs for renewable energy in relation to the institutional characteristics of Denmark, the Netherland…
Mediating Policy Competition Through Campus Development in Dutch Limburg
Over the past decades, governments have switched from a managerial to an entrepreneurial style of governance in the strengthening of certain places at the expense of others. This coevolved with an increase in inter‐urban and inter‐regional competition for resources, also called ‘policy competition’. The issue for regional governments is how they balance their wish to strengthen their economic structure, without creating conflicts of unfair compet…
Object formation and subject formation
A central question within planning theory is how changes between the relations of ‘grand institutions’ such as state, market and education influence the formation of objects ‘on the ground’. Drawing upon Foucault’s work, this article contributes to the understanding of these relations and argues that Foucault’s work provides a powerful set of tools to understand the formation of subjects and objects in spatial planning. It presents the case of th…
Fading EU phoria at the D utch‐ G erman Border? The Case of A vantis
The paper deals with the failure of the A vantis cross‐border business estate. The inception of this hitherto largely undeveloped site took place in the early 1990s, a period which we suggest characterising with the notion of EU phoria, that is, a widely held belief in the future of a borderless E urope. EU phoria is seen as the key to bringing together otherwise separate discourses under one shared ambition of constructing a cross‐border busines…
