  1. Property regimes in the context of multi-level biodiversity governance Decision-making over the forest management in protected areas in Slovak Republic PhD meeting – Bratislava 3.6.2009 Sonja Trifunovova, PhD student .

  2. Concept emerged from studies on EU integration as a new wave of thinking about EU as one political system Multi-level governance- governance dispersed across multiple jurisdictions governance = increased interdependence between governments and non-governmental actors at various territorial levels (Bache and Flinders 2004) Multi-level biodiversity governance

  3. The EU theoretically became “complex and very dynamic polity in which decision-making powers are shared between different vertical tiers of authority (supranational, national, subnational)” (Jordan A. 2001) However, normative stance prevails : - MLG more effective than central state monopoly -Biodiversity can successfully be maintained by such complex, multi-layered governance systems

  4. Jehlička & Tickle (2004) have recognized more passive approach of thesecountries in EU environmental policy-making, due to previous 'top-down' imposition of EU requirements, which came to be the leading framework of their environmental policy. Challenge for new EU member states?

  5. Effects • Low level of participation • -> conflicts over management of forests inside protected areas -> research interest: role of property regimes ?

  6. Theory 1- Inductive Approach 2- Concept of Institutional Interplay and Change

  7. Methodology Qualitative Interviews, Ethnographic Research CPR Games in SR (in part)

  8. Cooperatives“urbariats” • Common type of property • The size of owned land differs among cooperatives and within cooperatives • Benefits shared • Costs: maintenance of forest

  9. Property and use rights changed over the time Reconstruction of Slovak case Austro-Hungarian Kingdom Socialism (establishment of national park) Post-socialism Reconstruction of Serbian Case Austro-Hungarian Kingdom Socialism (establishment of national park) Post-socialism

  10. Interviews • How do they make their choices over forest management? • Interviews suggest that… (data still under process!) • important role of power relationships • size of owned forest play role • costs burden • emotional attachment

  11. Thank you!
