Towards a multi-level governance framework for MSP in the Baltic
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2016, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
The Baltic Sea Region stands out as an early adopter of a transboundary approach to marine/maritime spatial planning (MSP). Various common principles have been established for MSP in the Baltic, but despite some initial suggestions, these have not yet been translated into structures and processes that could facilitate transboundary MSP governance in the BSR. This paper draws on the recent PartiSEApate project to outline recommendations for a multi-level governance framework for MSP in the Baltic. Based on empirical work, needs and visions for a pan-Baltic MSP dialogue are first outlined from the perspective of sectoral stakeholders and governance representatives. The paper then presents suggestions for adapting existing structures, most notably the HELCOM/VASAB MSP Working Group, to facilitate a pan-Baltic MSP dialogue that is needs-based, results oriented and realistic. Suggestions are also presented for extending cross-border consultation on MSP as part of a multi-level governance framework. The paper concludes with an outlook to developments in 2015 and general lessons for transboundary MSP.
