Perceptions of institutional complexity and lobbyists’ decisions to join lobbying coalitions – evidence from the European Union contextBarron, A., Trouille, Jean-Marc 2015 November 1924 (has links)
Yes / We use data from in-depth interviews with business lobbyists in Brussels to
investigate why they choose to join lobbying coalitions. We find that
lobbyists face two competing institutional incentives. First, they are
confronted with incentives to ally with other European organisations,
develop multilateral policy messages, and communicate messages to the
Commission and the Parliament. Simultaneously, they face inducements to
join narrower coalitions, develop bilateral policy messages, and direct
those messages at the Council. Lobbyists’ receptivity to these incentives –
and thus their choices of lobbying coalitions – differs with their age,
educational background, and with the type and ownership structure of the
organisations they represent. Combined, our findings contribute to the
limited, mainly American literature on interest coalitions by demonstrating
that lobbyists operate in complex institutional environments, and that their
interpretations of and reactions to institutional complexity are shaped by
individual- and organisational-level factors.

Cross-border Co-operation As A Tool To Enhance Regional Development: The Case Of Hopa-batumi RegionDursun, Defne 01 June 2007 (has links) (PDF)
The aim of this thesis is to examine the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation as a
tool for local/regional development of underdeveloped border regions, and whether it
is appropriate for Turkey&rsquo / s border regions. The basic statement is that the trajectories
of intense economic relations do not always let cross-border co-operation / it can
develop through supportive policies fed by the active participation of cross-border
actors.
The scope of this study is,
- to examine changing theoretical ideas about borders and border relations,
- to review some of the important changes affecting the cross-border cooperations / and the implications of transformations in the global mechanisms through new network relations determined within the multi-level governance
approach,
- to develop a framework for analysing the success of cross-border cooperation,
- to discuss the cross-border co-operation trajectories through the world
experiences and Turkish case,
- to search for a new model
This study will focus on a set of theoretical tools involving independent dimensions
such as governance, economy and social structure. Along these theoretical
perspectives, the importance of a cross-border co-operation for local/regional
development will be emphasised through the case of Hopa-Batumi border region.
Handling of this case will be an attempt to put forward the opportunities and barriers
of a cross-border co-operation for Turkish border regions.
This study is developed by the examination of theoretical literature, generating
comparative analysis of world experiences with reference to available literature, and
Turkish border regions executed with the newspapers archives and legal
arrangements, and case study through in-depth interviews.

Přeshraniční spolupráce euroregionů mezi Českou, Polskou a Slovenskou republikou / Cross-border cooperation of Euroregions between Czech Republic, Poland, and SlovakiaVaňková, Eva January 2013 (has links)
The presented thesis is analyzing the cross-border co-operation between three units, the Czech-Polish-Slovak Euroregion Beskydy, the Czech-Slovak Bílé-Biele Karpaty and the Czech-Polish Euroregion Silesia. The object of the work is to point out the concrete factors influencing the collaboration in these Euroregions in 2004-2006 period. From the beginning of this date caught the countries, on whose territory particular structures are situated, as the lawful Member States of the European Union draw the financial aid from the Community Initiative INTERREG. An important part of this Initiative, INTERREG IIIA Programme, was in the Multiannual Financial Framework concerned designated to the support of the cross- border co-operation. The criteria are built on the base of the Theory of learning regions, according which the collaboration in cross-border structures is analysed: a milieu, from which the co-operation arised, a participation of the other subjects on the activities of the Euroregion and main areas of the co-operation and knowledge imparted. The priorities specified at the beggining of the partnership are envisaged with the intern setting of the Euroregion and with the projects truly realized in the period defined.

Culture, institutions and power:institutionalisation of cross-border co-operation as a development strategy in Northern FinlandJakola, F. (Fredriika) 25 October 2019 (has links)
Abstract
A predominant academic question is how and why the development paths of municipalities and regions take certain forms. In recent decades, geographers and economists in particular have investigated the dynamics of how local institutional conditions and their local mobilisation can affect development outcomes and how development is determined by “structural” forces such as state- and EU-based regulations and globalisation of the economy. Thus, the notion that historical sensitiveness and context-dependency are essential factors in local and regional development and growth has gained credence. Then again, municipalities and regions are not “islands” of development but integral parts of complex socio-spatial relations and processes. From this viewpoint, border municipalities and regions are eminently interesting research contexts as they are sites where different scalar political interests, institutional structures, and development discourses are continuously manifested, materialised and contested in the daily practices of local and regional actors.
Nevertheless, this thesis argues that the existing mainstream studies investigating the development paths and prospects of border regions and municipalities are, firstly, overly EU-centric and, secondly, have an overly limited perspective on the institutional environment and legacy in which local and regional actors operate. The main attention in this regard has often been on the institutional differences between states and nationalities. In order to understand the development prospects of border areas and the preconditions of transnational regionalisation, municipal planning of border areas needs to be approached not only from the perspective of EU-driven cross-border co-operation and building of “transnational” scale, but more comprehensively. Accordingly, the present research on the Finnish-Swedish border area, which is an internal border area of the EU, takes a more historically and contextually sensitive institutional approach in this regard. Investigating the structural and discursive dynamics related to the institutionalisation of cross-border co-operation as a development strategy in the context of municipal planning enables not only identification of the conflicts and intersections between state-, EU- and local/regional-level development interests and institutional structures, but also provides room for recognising the diversity of the existing interests, strategies and motivations of local and regional actors and different interest groups involved in these institutionalisation processes.
This thesis suggests that the concept of policy transfer and problematisation of the dynamics of how and why certain development strategies, policies and discourses become selected, implemented and sustained at the border municipalities offers a fruitful theoretical and political framework for examining the abovementioned issues. Accordingly, the thesis studies the intertwined relationship between local agency and the mobilisation of scalar institutional structures in regional planning and policy transfer processes by applying the Cultural Political Economy approach and strategic-relational theory on institutions (see Jessop & Sum 2013) as theoretical-methodological lenses. The thesis consists of three original research articles that form a scalar and temporal continuum. The empirical research is based on interviews conducted with key municipal and regional actors (i.e. planners, politicians, project managers and entrepreneurs), historical document material reaching back to the 1930s, as well as supplementary policy documents produced at various governmental levels. Both critical discourse analysis and content analysis are used as analysis methods. As the dynamics of municipal planning are reflected primarily against the formal institutional planning system in Finland, the study focuses on the Finnish side of the border — the Finnish Tornio Valley and the Kemi-Tornio sub-region.
The results underline that the institutionalisation of cross-border co-operation as a key development strategy has been a long path-dependent process in which policy transfer processes and local mobilisation have become intertwined. While the “large-scale” development follows the Finnish national development — the transition from state-led, topdown politics to a more bottom-up, region-based development model — the investigation of these policy transfer processes also shows that the border location and the mobilisation of both the “border region identity” and the EU’s cross-border co-operation policy discourse have had a marked impact on the development path. Accordingly, they have furthered the development towards cross-border regionalisation. Moreover, border municipalities are challenging the state’s authority and the subordinated municipality-state relation by invoking this development. This development, however, is regionally contested and exemplifies the power relations both between municipalities with/without state border as well as between public and private sector actors. In the end, which development strategies become dominant or discarded in a particular context depends on how different actors and interest groups mobilise their privileged positions in relation to surrounding formal and informal institutional structures, such as municipal autonomy, EU cross-border cooperation funding schemes, trust relations, regional identity, and prevailing norms and customs. This research stands as an illustrative example that it is crucial not to consider these context-specific “soft” matters as somehow secondary to “rational” economic reasoning when investigating courses of action and economic development paths. / Original papers
