Regional spatial planning is on the rise. In a Swedish context, regions hold little mandate in spatial planning, but an ongoing trend of planning extending to the regional level can be seen.  Aside from three regions with official planning responsibilities, many regions practise spatial planning through non-statutory practices.  The aim of this thesis is to explore the types of logic that three carefully selected regions apply in practising non-statutory regional spatial planning. To that end, I analyse the prevailing understanding of the spatial-political arena of municipalities, regions and national authorities, and the challenges that these various types of logic may lead to when practising non-statutory planning. The thesis responds to two research questions1) the types of logic that guide non-statutory regional planning, and 2) the challenges such logics may face. The three selected regions, the Blekinge region, the Västra Götaland region, and the Östergötland region, were studied and compared through interviews, observations and document analysis. A thematic analysis is applied onto the material, from which dominating logics were identified. Findings show that these regions, even within the same national context, operate in diverse ways, and that challenges relate to the current fuzziness of the Swedish regional planning legislation, a perceived lack of guidance from the national level, and difficulties in collaborating with municipalities.

[pt] O presente relatório objetiva apresentar o quanto as técnicas de negociações de conflitos e tomadas de decisões racionais estão ausentes na crise Venezuela Brasil. A não adoção de boas práticas negociais pelos agentes políticos e diplomáticos agrava o dia a dia dos povos envolvidos no litígio. A opção por modernos instrumentos negociais e a presença de um mediador endógeno é a proposta, pois facilitaria enormemente o desenvolvimento de uma governança regional. Para embasar a pesquisa debruça o relatório na literatura clássica e contemporânea, o que abrange temas como: conflict transformation, black negotiation, newgotiation, process alternative, Theory Problem Solving, o Nobel de economia de 2017 entre outras reflexões marcantes. / [en] This report aims to present how the techniques of conflict negotiation and rational decision making are absent in the Venezuela Brazil crisis. The nonadoption of good business practices by political and diplomatic agents aggravates the day-to-day of the peoples involved in the litigation. The option for modern negotiating instruments and the presence of an endogenous mediator is the proposal, as it would greatly facilitate the development of regional governance. To support the research, the report focuses on classical and contemporary literature, which covers topics such as: conflict transformation, black negotiation, newgotiation, process alternative, Theory Problem Solving, the Nobel economics of 2017 among other striking reflections.

Adaptive Governance approaches are being implemented by officials in Swedish municipalities. A close dialogue and cooperation between municipalities, and the acceptance of the uncertainty and unpredictability of climate change are included in the strategic work, and facilitate the introduction of Adaptive Governance approaches. However, Adaptive Governance approaches are at the same time hindered by the municipal systems, which does not allow for the introduction of new and innovative information. In particular, this study demonstrates that the systems are not structured to include such information from informal sources, such as citizens and farmers. This comparative study investigates water quality management at the local level, applying the concept of Adaptive Governance in three Swedish municipalities: Kalmar, Västerås and Upplands Väsby.The analysis is based on the theoretical framework of Adaptive Governance that expands on the understanding of adaptive management. The 17 semi-structured interviews conclude that the facilitators for Adaptive Governance are most evident within the areas of collaboration and shared responsibility between municipalities. Barriers to the development of Adaptive Governance are identified as a failure in the systems to include ecological knowledge. Expanding Adaptive Governance research to a larger number of municipalities within the European Union would shed some more light on what facilitates and what hinders the inclusion of Adaptive Governance approaches at the local level. Such research would have a dual effect: as a contribution to science and as a promotion for the practical implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive according to the Adaptive Governance approaches of the European water quality management.

In 2000 the public and civil society prepared a Regional Strategic Plan (RSP) with a prospect for ten years with seven Thematic Topics (TT). However, that study we will study one of them, the Social Inclusion TT (SITT). This research objective to describe the metropolitan governance in SITT: to understand the relationships among the seven cities and the São Paulo State and the other; to identify the implementation of the programs, projects and policies of social inclusion between 2000 2009; and to investigate the relationship and the consequence of the process of coordination between regional agents this period. We interviewed nineteen key-informants and documentary sources from the cities departments, civil society and Professors to help us to achieve these objectives. We have observed that the movement of metropolitan governance was active between 2000 2002, because of leaders like Celso Daniel and Mário Covas and the regional agents. Moreover, after the death of both in 2001 and 2002, respectively, not much has been achieved in accordance with the regional development; because of competition among cities; political-party conflicts; and lack of administrative synchronization, which has prevented the establishment common interest projects in Social Inclusion TT in the 2000s. We could see that changing the Greater ABC Intercity Consortium to Public Consortium, brought a new impetus to regional strengthening and metropolitan governance in the Greater ABC / A região que engloba Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo, São Caetano do Sul, Diadema, Mauá, Ribeirão Pires e Rio Grande da Serra, o Grande ABC é parte da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP), é reconhecido no país pelo pioneirismo nos movimento de articulação, cooperação e pactuação regional, tendo início na década de 1990 e fez emergir na região o processo de governança metropolitana. No ano de 2000 foi elaborado um Plano Estratégico Regional (PER) com perspectiva para dez anos, que estabeleceu sete Eixos Temáticos (ET) de desenvolvimento, sendo que concentramos nosso estudo no ET Inclusão Social (ETIS). Os objetivos do estudo são, ao descrever a governança metropolitana no ETIS, buscar compreender as relações entre os sete municípios e o Estado e entre os próprios municípios; identificar os programas, os projetos e as políticas públicas de inclusão social implementados no período entre 2000 2009; e investigar as relações e os desdobramento do processo de articulação entre os atores regionais no período correspondente. Para alcançar esses objetivos do estudo, entrevistamos 19 informantes-chave, além de fontes documentais das secretarias municipais, sociedade civil e docentes da região. Pudemos observar que o movimento na direção da governança metropolitana causou esperança e entusiasmo nos atores regionais até o ano de 2002, devido as lideranças de Celso Daniel e Mário Covas; por outro lado, pouco foi realizado em termos regionais após a morte dos dois líderes políticos; muito em virtude da competição entre os municípios; dos conflitos políticospartidário e da descontinuidade administrativa, que inviabilizaram a constituição de projetos de interesse comum no ETIS na década de 2000. Vimos também que a mudança do Consórcio Intermunicipal do Grande ABC para Consórcio Público, trouxe um novo alento ao fortalecimento regional e a governança metropolitana no Grande ABC

A tese analisa os processos de conquista ecológica ao longo de um conjunto de unidades de conservação e suas áreas de entorno, envolvendo núcleos urbanos, rurais e territórios de comunidades tradicionais, como constituintes de ecofronteiras e sua relação com o desenvolvimento turístico, de forma a subsidiar perspectivas para o planejamento territorial em Mosaicos de Áreas Protegidas no Brasil. Buscouse refletir como as políticas de ordenamento territorial, condicionadas às políticas de proteção ambiental das redes ambientais, constituem estratégias geopolíticas de territorialização ecologizante, incapazes de compreender a abrangência do planejamento na região, produzindo territórios protegidos que não se viabilizam econômica, social e ambientalmente. Nosso percurso metodológico partiu da análise das ecofronteiras como categoria de leitura das formas espaciais e dinâmicas territoriais envolvendo áreas marcadas por valor estético e ecológico forte, onde coabitam tempos distintos, resultando inserções diferentes do lugar no sistema ou na rede global, bem como resultando diferentes ritmos e coexistências nos lugares. Como universo empírico de pesquisa escolheu-se o Mosaico Bocaina, situado na fronteira entre os estados do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, tendo como recorte territorial de análise os municípios de São José do Barreiro, Cunha, Paraty e Ubatuba. Os conflitos oriundos da expansão das ecofronteiras no Mosaico Bocaina e sua integração no âmbito do planejamento territorial em relação a outros processos paralelos de desenvolvimento territorial, como o turismo, permanecem até os dias atuais sem resolução. Os resultados aquém dos objetivos postos pela implantação do Mosaico Bocaina, desde sua criação, além de poucas perspectivas demonstradas para viabilização de uma gestão territorial integrada, nos faz crer que sua efetividade passa por mudanças que envolvam processos de governança mais abrangentes que trabalhem as lógicas zonais e reticulares das ecofronteiras constituintes de territórios-rede e seus processos de desenvolvimento. Tal constatação confirma nossa hipótese de que uma proposta de gestão integrada de áreas protegidas que transcenda os limites de um município necessita de mecanismos democráticos e abrangentes de governança que ultrapassem a esfera de domínio dos Mosaicos definidos pelo Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação - SNUC. Frente ao cenário analisado, o planejamento territorial deve buscar a reconstrução das fronteiras das cidades nas quais se formam os núcleos de preservação que dão origem às ecofronteiras. Tornam-se necessários novos mecanismos de governança que englobem os territórios-rede das ecofronteiras dos Mosaicos, valorizando a participação social a partir da articulação de seus atores em diferentes escalas, no intuito de estabelecer projetos de desenvolvimento territorial menos excludente e desigual. / This thesis analyzes the processes of ecological conquest over a set of protected areas and their surrounding areas, involving urban and rural areas and traditional communities, as constituting \"ecofrontiers\" and its relation to tourism development in order to subsidize prospects for territorial planning in Mosaics of Protected Areas in Brazil. We reflected about how political territorial organization, conditioned to the environmental protection policies of environmental networks constitute geopolitical strategies of nature territorialization, unable to comprehend the scope of planning in the region, producing protected areas which do not enable economic, social and environmentally . Our methodological approach started from the analysis of ecofrontier as a category to study the spatial forms and territorial dynamics, involving areas with strong aesthetic and ecological value, where coexist different times, resulting in different inserts of place in the global network system, as well as different coexistences in places. As empirical research we chose the Bocaina Mosaic situated on the border between the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, with the territorial analysis focused on municipalities of São José do Barreiro, Cunha, Paraty and Ubatuba. The conflicts arising from the expansion of the ecofrontiers of Bocaina Mosaic and their integration in spatial planning in relation to other parallel processes of territorial development, such as tourism, remain to this day unresolved. The results not achieved in the implementation of Bocaina Mosaic, since its constitution, make us believe that its effectiveness undergoes changes involving broader governance processes working zonal and reticular logical of the network-territories and their development processes. These findings confirm our hypothesis that a proposal for integrated management of protected areas that transcend the limits of a municipality needs democratic and inclusive governance mechanisms that go beyond the sphere of the field of mosaics designed by National System of Conservation Units (SNUC). The background of socioenvironmental conflicts in the Bocaina Mosaic as a representative example of a national problem of territorial conflicts in a number of protected areas makes us believe that the territorial planning should seek to rebuild the city boundaries in which form the central core of preservation that give rise to ecofrontiers. Thus become necessary new governance mechanisms covering the network-territories of ecofrontiers in mosaics, valuing the social participation from the articulation of its actors at different scales, in order to establish territorial development projects less exclusionary and unequal.

Over past decades, governments within Australia and throughout the Western world have sought to establish multi-sectoral planning processes that operate at a regional scale. Research on these processes has tended to focus on the challenges of ‘joining-up’ government and non-government sectors to create robust, effective and democratic regional structures and processes. Far less attention has been paid to integration within and between the various entities of government involved within these regional governance initiatives. This thesis, therefore, investigates the role of inter-governmental integration, or ‘whole-of-government’ activities, in relation to regional multi-sectoral governance. The institutional forms, enabling and constraining factors, and implications of inter-governmental arrangements between the various agencies and levels of government are examined. The study applies a sociocultural approach to institutional analysis. Commonly known as grid-group cultural theory, this approach provides a conceptual framework for identifying the fundamental social dynamics underlying differing forms of social organisation and governance. This framework specifies the primary forms, modus operandi and enabling social contexts of inter-institutional integration. These are, respectively: coordination by authority within hierarchy; cooperation through self-interest based collective action within competitive individualism; and collaboration through trust and a sense of commitment to the group within a communitarian social context. This study sought to investigate whole-of-government within regional governance through examination of two contemporaneous region-wide, multi-sectoral planning projects in Central Queensland, Australia. These were, namely, Central Queensland: A New Millennium, covering planning across a broad suite of issues, and the Fitzroy Basin Association, more specifically focussing on natural resource management planning for the region. Both bodies were in the process of implementing their regional plans at the time of this study. A qualitative case study methodology was employed in research, involving in-depth interviews with government officials, examination of project documents, and participation at meetings. The research data were analysed to identify the main processes and perceived outcomes of the two projects, and underlying factors relating to these. The two regional planning processes were generally perceived to have resulted in widely differing levels of success, and with many of the same government officials involved, there was considerable scope to contrast the whole-of-government structures and processes applied in the two cases. Analysis of the case material in the light of the theoretical framework and broader literature emphasised the nested and subordinate nature of regional whole-of-government efforts within the broader system of government. This system was revealed as characterised by horizontal fragmentation between departments and between jurisdictional tiers of government (Federal, State, and Local) but strong vertical integration within departments. The research highlighted the importance of central level political commitment to regional level integration efforts. Support is seen as particularly important in the form of 1) the political will to direct high-level coordination between departments and to advance cooperation between tiers of government; 2) sufficient resources allocated to regional plan implementation in order to motivate inter-governmental cooperation at a range of levels; and 3) the granting of sufficient autonomy to ensure effective devolution and regional level ownership that assists cooperation and collaboration at the regional level. In the light of the decisive importance of central level support, it was found that while high quality regional level leadership of regional whole-of-government processes is a necessary condition for their success, it is not a sufficient condition. To be effective, regional whole-of-government leadership requires both meaningful devolution and substantive central support. The study identified the multiple and contradictory forms of inter-governmental relations that comprise the social contexts at different levels within the broader system of government. In particular, the case study comparison suggested that success at the regional level relies on the application, at all levels, of forms and mechanisms of inter-governmental integration that are appropriate to the specific social contexts within which they are embedded.

Trata-se de um estudo de casos múltiplos que objetiva analisar a implantação das Faculdades de Tecnologia FATEC s no ABC e sua relação com o Planejamento Regional Estratégico (PRE). Para tanto, foram estudados a trajetória e o contexto atual das universidades no Brasil; a história e a condição da região hoje; e o próprio Planejamento, concebido em 1999 2000, para contemplar um período de dez anos. Para a aplicação da pesquisa, foram realizadas visitas às unidades selecionadas (FATEC Mauá, FATEC Santo André, FATEC São Bernardo do Campo e FATEC São Caetano do Sul) e entrevistas com seus diretores. Tais entrevistas indicaram que a implantação das FATEC s no Grande ABC ocorreu, principalmente, devido ao plano de expansão do CEETEPS. Porém, através da pesquisa bibliográfica, é possível afirmar que a governança regional já discutia a chegada dessas unidades há anos, mencionando o projeto de implantação no PRE. O desconhecimento dos diretores entrevistados em relação ao PRE afirma a falta de continuidade do trabalho proposto pela governança. Portanto, a discussão política, ou de gestão consorcial da região, em torno do tripé ensino superior (FATEC), Grande ABC e desenvolvimento socioeconômico faz-se necessária e urgente, visando novas propostas para problemas como desemprego, desigualdade social, qualificação de pessoas e educação democrática fatores de desenvolvimento que merecem atenção da governança de uma região com alta expressão econômica e social no Estado de São Paulo e no Brasil.(AU)

In the light of the on-going climate emergency and energy crisis, wind power has been described as a rapid pathway towards increasing the share of renewable energy as well as electricity production. However, time consuming and complex permitting processes has been a central obstacle for the transition to take place. Municipalities have a strong influence over land use planning in Sweden and despite the urgent need to increase renewable energy production, few wind power projects are permitted.  Previous research has underlined capacity building between local and regional levels as a pathway to strengthen local institutions and stimulate wind power developments. Following Arts et al. definition of ‘tiering’ as the deliberate, organized transfer of information and issues from one level of planning to another, collaboration between different tiers is described as fundamental for successful projects. By analysing data from interviews, documents, and observations, this study has investigated what role collaboration between tiers plays in the Regional Wind Power Analysis in Värmland, and how the project could lead to more effective planning processes for wind power. The results indicate that the Regional Wind Power Analysis can strengthen the planning process for wind power by raising awareness and stimulating knowledge building between important stakeholders, which consequently can make it easier to understand how and potentially where to engage in wind power planning. In line with previous research, the study also illustrates the potential governing role the County Administration Board can play for coordinating projects and building institutional capacity for inter-municipal and inter-regional issues, including wind power. Even though the project has been appreciated, if financial incentives remain scarce, there will not be enough reason to engage in wind power planning locally. / I ljuset av den pågående klimat- och energikrisen har vindkraft lyfts fram som en möjlig väg framåt för att snabbt kunna öka elproduktionen och ställa om till en förnybar energisektor. Trots det så har osäkra tillståndsprocesser blivit ett allt större problem för vindkraftsaktörer, vilket utgör ett tydligt hinder för att bygga fler vindkraftsparker. Kommunerna har med sitt planeringsmonopol ett stort inflytande över markanvändningen i Sverige, och trots behovet av en snabb och grön energiomställning så säger kommunerna allt oftare nej till vindkraft. Tidigare forskning har pekat ut kapacitetsstödjande åtgärder mellan lokal och regional nivå som en möjlig lösning för att bistå kommunerna i vindkraftsärenden och således öka vindkraftsproduktionen.  Med avstamp i Arts et al. definition av tiering som en medveten, organiserad överföring av information och frågor från en planeringsnivå till en annan har samverkan mellan olika nivåer beskrivits som en stöttepelare för lyckade planeringsprojekt. Genom intervju-, dokument och observationsstudier har denna studie undersökt vilken roll samverkan mellan olika planeringsnivåer spelar i den regionala vindkraftsanalysen i Värmland och vidare hur projektet kan främja vindkraftsplanering. Resultatet visar att den regionala vindkraftsanalysen kan stärka planeringen för vindkraft genom att öka medvetenheten och bygga upp en förståelse hos olika aktörer, vilket kan göra det lättare att förstå hur och potentiellt var det är lämpligt att utveckla vindkraft. I linje med tidigare forskning pekar denna studie också ut Länsstyrelsen som en viktig aktör för att leda projekt och bygga institutionell kapacitet där olika aktörer kan samverka för att hantera mellankommunala och regionala frågor, så som vindkraftsärenden. Trots att vindkraftsanalysen kan leda till ökad samverkan och är ett uppskattat projekt, så visar studien att bristen på ekonomiska incitament lokalt leder till få anledningar för kommunerna att vilja engagera sig i vindkraftsutbyggnad.

La Turquie, pays candidat à l'Union européenne, est confrontée à une pression européenne pour l'adaptation de ses structures administratives et de ses cadres institutionnels aux règles et aux critères européens concernant la mise en œuvre des fonds structurels. A cet égard, dans le contexte de processus de préadhésion à l'UE, l'Etat turc s'amène à reformuler sa politique de développement régional. Dans ce sens, la réforme majeure entreprise par l'Etat turc est celle de la création des Agences de développement dans les vingt-six régions statistiques de NUTS II. Parallèlement, il s'agit de la mise en place d'un processus de décentralisation. En effet, ces réformes renvoient à une européanisation de la gestion publique territoriale. Cependant, les changements qui sont en œuvre ne dépendent pas exclusivement des recommandations de l'UE. De plus, il est nécessaire de prendre en considération la dimension territoriale du processus d'européanisation. Quels sont les différents facteurs et les diverses dynamiques qui déterminent le changement dans les politiques de développement régional ? Dans quelle mesure peut-on imputer le changement à la conditionnalité européenne ? Comment l'Europe procède pour inciter l'Etat turc à reformuler ses politiques régionales ? Quel est le rôle du niveau infranational dans le changement ? Autant de questions auxquelles cette étude essaye de fournir des éléments de réponse / Turkey, a candidate for the European Union, faces European pressure to adapt its administrative structures and institutional frameworks of its rules and European standards concerning the implementation of structural funds. In this respect, in the context of pre-accession process to the EU, the Turkish state is coming to reformulate its policy of regional development. In this sense, the major reform undertaken by the Turkish state is that of the creation of development agencies in the twenty-six statistical regions NUTS II. Meanwhile, it is also the establishment of a decentralization process. Indeed, these reforms refer to Europeanization of territorial governance. However, the changes that are implemented do not depend exclusively on EU recommendations. Morever, it is necessary to consider the territorial dimension of the Europeanization process. What are the different factors and the various dynamics that determine the change in regional development policies? To what extent can we attribute the change to the EU conditionality? How Europe proceeds to urge the Turkish government to reformulate its regional policies? What is the role of sub-national level in the change? These are the questions that this study attempts to provide some answers. So our goal in this work consists on the one hand, to understand the logical adaptation of Turkish state with the recommendations of Europe indicating the junction of different dynamics of change, on the other hand, identify the change through the articulation of different levels of public action, from local to Europe
