De discussie over stikstofnormen heeft laten zien dat strenge natuurwetgeving het natuurbeleid tanden heeft gegeven. Strikte biodiversiteitsdoelstellingen hebben in sommige gebieden de natuurkwaliteit verbeterd. Maar ze leiden ook tot stevige politieke en maatschappelijke debatten. Niet alleen de legitimiteit van het natuurbeleid, maar ook zorgvuldige besluitvorming komt hiermee onder druk te staan. In deze essaybundel geeft een breed palet aan wetenschappers, natuurbeschermers en actieve burgers hun kritische visie op het natuurbeleid en de steun hiervoor in de samenleving. Ze analyseren hoe de strikte omgang met Europese regelgeving, de opkomst van sociale media, de decentralisatie van het beleid en de bloei van groene burgerinitiatieven de maatschappelijke acceptatie van het beleid beïnvloeden. Ook hebben ze suggesties hoe de maatschappelijke legitimiteit versterkt kan worden door de ontwikkeling van een nieuw natuurverhaal.

Environmental policy in its broadest context has been significantly revitalized and renewed during the last two decades. That observation is nothing new, attested to by the number of publications, conferences and both private and public projects that have been initiated. However, our understanding of the dynamics of this renewal has generally been informed by studies on single policies and projects, leaving us with a limited understanding of what the ‘newness’ consists of in terms of an integrated perspective. This book presents fresh analyses of a number of well-known cases, but does so from one comprehensive view, the so-called policy arrangement approach. Cases discussed range over organic farming, integrated water management, nature policy, cultural heritage policy, integrated region-oriented policy, corporate environmental management and target group policy, always in search of the commonality of experience and conclusions to be drawn in understanding the past and in formulating future perspectives. A major conclusion can be summarised as ‘lots of dynamics, not much change’. The observed dynamics mainly result from discursive innovations and from the entrance of new actors and stakeholders. Stability of new undertakings is provided by established power relations and other pre-existing institutional structures. In this interplay of dynamics and stability, ‘deep’ policy change has rarely been found. Government still remains more important than governance. At the same time, though, societal developments such as Europeanisation, globalisation and individualisation, are tending to both reveal the need for, and induce steps toward, more fundamental changes. Traces of such movement are indeed observable, if less dramatic than expected.
