Evaluation of agri-environmental policy delivery system on regional level - case study in Bílé Karpaty
- Research Institute of Agricultural Economics, Prague, Czech Republic
Regional officials who are dealing with target groups and should cope with real world limits and conflicts heavily influence implementation of agri-environmental policies. This process is not addressed enough to understand what are the concepts behind and potential difficulties when introduced the EU policies. Group of actors is operating and acting to pursue their interest on the regional level usually. Their interactions motivated by particular common interest finally could turn the policy to a failure or to a success. In order to answer some questions regarding implementation process, the case study was prepared in Bílé Karpaty dealing with farming vs. conservation conflict. The aspects of policy agreement were studied and potential changes of policy agreement as a result of the EU policies introduction in the Czech Republic was assessed. Lesson for policy design and management from the case study was expected.
