The EU as a green normative power? Unpacking dynamics of norm diffusion in forest biodiversity politics
In the European Union (EU), substantial policy efforts aim to conserve and enhance forest biodiversity. Under the European Green Deal (EGD), flagship policies, including the EU forest and biodiversity strategies for 2030, envision the ecological transformation of nature, society, and economy. Central to these efforts are norms—soft institutions and shared standards that guide actors’ behaviour. Drawing on diffusion approaches, we identify key nor…
The role of social, policy and economic forces in shaping forest restoration practices in Europe
Forest restoration in Europe has a complex history strongly influenced by various social, policy and economic factors. Understanding these influences is essential for shaping effective restoration strategies and avoiding past mistakes, particularly in light of meeting ambitious targets outlined in initiatives such as the EU Nature Restoration Regulation. Here we identify the key social, policy and economic drivers, barriers and enablers that have…
Forest restoration paradigms and conflicts in Europe
Forest restoration is gaining importance in Europe. This study aims to investigate how forest restoration is understood in a European context, identify potential forest restoration conflicts, and explore the relationship between both understandings and conflicts. To achieve this, 46 semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders in 12 forest restoration case studies in 12 European countries. The results show three distinct ways in wh…
Forests in the Spotlight
The adoption of the proposal for an EU Nature Restoration Regulation (EU-NRR) in 2022 sparked controversial debates across environmental policy domains. The intensity of debate during the ordinary legislative procedure was evident in the numerous amendments and close voting outcomes within the EU legislative institutions. Although the multi-level and multi-sectoral nature of the EU environmental policy arena provides numerous opportunities and ve…
From sectoral policy change to cross-sectoral (dis)integration? A longitudinal analysis of the EU's forest and rural development policy
Policy integration (PI) is critical to address cross-cutting challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss holistically. In the European Union, forests are confronting increasingly adverse climatic conditions and numerous stressors that impact their biodiversity. Political efforts to counteract these trends are mainly channeled through funding from the rural development policy as a pivotal part of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). In c…
