From Government to Governance: The Case of Integrated Product Policy
6 September 2003 - 11 September 2003
Overview
Organised by:
Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IOeW), Berlin
Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Berlin
Akademie Frankenwarte, Würzburg European policy patterns are changing: There is a "transformation of European governance" as crucial issue shifting power relations within state and society. Generally spoken, the transformation process towards new models of governance aims at stronger involvement of stakeholder and shared responsibility. What's in it for the environment? From a transdisciplinary and social ecological perspective this leads to the exciting relation of Governance and Sustainability. Taking one example, Integrated Product Policy (IPP) aims to improve the environmental performance of products and services along life-cycle and combines integration, communication and co-operation as leading principles. Is IPP one outcome indicating changes towards environmental governance patterns? The Summer Academy intends to be a forum for intensive international exchange of experiences on IPP. This summer academy is part of the IOeW-Project "Governance and Sustanability", which is integrated in the new programm "Social-ecological Research" (SÖF) of the German Federal Ministry of Education und Research.Summer Academy Venue:

Monday 8th, 2003Transformation of European governance: Where to place Integrated Product Policy?
There is a transformation process towards new models of governance relying on stronger involvment of stakeholder in the policy process and the extended use of push and pull strategies/instruments. Integrated Product Policy (IPP) is seen as one outcome of environmental governance combining integration, communication and co-operation as leading principles. IPP will be set in the wider context of transformation from government to governance. A key element of discussion will be the IPP strategy of the European Commission with the "communication" published in June 2003.
