Despite the increasing attention given to marine spatial planning and widely acknowledged need for transnational policy coordination, regional coherence has not yet improved a great deal in Baltic Sea region. Therefore, main objectives this article are: (a) map existing governance structures at all levels that influence how domestic strategies are formed, (b) identify specific challenges cooperation (c) discuss possible remedies. Based on data from in-depth case studies carried out BONUS...
The EU MSP Directive is an example of a so-called new generation directive, which gives Member States room for adaptation to national contexts. main objective in this article identify and analyse potential obstacles effective efficient planning caused by the diversity among frameworks that Directive's broad regulatory boundaries have led to. It shown approaches can differ substantially between neighbouring countries, make it challenging coordinate across borders. Divergence also emerge from...
Despite the challenges of decarbonisation faced by shipping sector, this topic has rarely been addressed in sustainability transitions studies. This paper questions common views established firms as agents resisting change and broadens discussions on role incumbents strategic reorientation. Using dynamic capabilities approach, we provide a deeper understanding firms' reorientation over time. Qualitative content analysis is applied to data from interviews, companies' reports observations...

Shows how an analytical focus on can shed light various 'balances' commonly sought after Assessment integrative must be understood relation MSP's overarching sustainability goals.
Currently, European marine governance seems to be undergoing significant changes. From having been based largely on scientific expert knowledge, restricted risk assessments and governmental regulation, we are now witnessing a management turn towards holistic perspectives, the inclusion of stakeholders, adaptive governance, co-production knowledge—the so-called ecosystem approach (EAM). By using Baltic Sea as an example these changes, have taken closer look at 2007 Action Plan (BSAP) Helsinki...
Despite significant efforts to improve environmental safety in marine oil transportation, the risk of a major accident with devastating spills has most likely increased. Building on regime analytical approach where it is assumed that international collaboration may benefit participating countries, argued bilateral and sub-regional initiatives increase maritime significantly, compared exclusive reliance universal conventions. A distinction made between one hand investments safety-increasing...
While scholars have showed a long-standing interest for how to design effective environmental treaties and other international agreements, less has been paid implementation phases of these agreements. This article takes the Eutrophication Segment in Baltic Sea Action Plan as an example regional effort reduce nutrient leakages, where national reporting adopted strategies key mechanism improve effectiveness. It is shown that although transnational collective action theory powerful tool analyse...
Abstract Marine oil transportation in the Baltic Sea has increased significantly during past decade. This may pose a significant threat to environment, partly due risk of accidents and because deliberate flushing tanks at sea other diffuse emissions. The problem is examined from Swedish point view, emphasizing possible ways reducing environmental risks associated with marine which cooperative solutions will be required solve current collective action dilemmas. It argued that since...
Foreign assistance is often characterized by a mix of altruistic and self-interested considerations the donor country. Swedish environmental support to Baltic States during 1991-96 period was designed primarily promote interests. Based on classification different supported issue-areas according collective good content, it clear that areas with large trans-boundary effects were favoured. The most important targets for wastewater treatment facilities, measures decrease emissions from point...
