Zusammenfassung
This paper is looking at European environmental policy from the "second image reversed" perspective. Specifically, it investigates the conditions under which we see administrative change in the EU member states as a consequence of the implementation of EU environmental policies. We adopt a comparative research design – analyzing the impact of four environmental policies in Britain and Germany – to trace the conditions for adaptation in the context of different administrative structures and traditions. As a starting hypothesis we adopt the institutionalist expectation that administrative adaptation depends on the "goodness of fit" between European policy requirements and existing national structures and procedures. On the basis of our empirical evidence we further refine the notion of "goodness of fit" by looking at the level of embeddedness of national structures in the overall administrative tradition from a static and dynamic perspective. Furthermore, we develop an explanatory framework that links sociological and rational choice variants of institutional analysis.
Zusammenfassung in einer weiteren Sprache
In diesem Papier betrachten wir EU Umweltpolitik aus der "second image reversed" Perspektive. Wir untersuchen, unter welchen Bedingungen die Implementation von EU Umweltgesetzgebung in dem Mitgliedsstaaten zu Strukturveränderungen in nationalen Verwaltungen führt. Ein vergleichendes Forschungsdesign, das die Auswirkungen von vier EU Umweltgesetzen in Großbritannien und Deutschland untersucht, ermöglicht es uns, die Bedingungen für effektive Anpassung in einem Kontext verschiedener Verwaltungsstrukturen und -traditionen zu erkennen. Die von der Institutionalismustheorie geprägte Erwartung, daß der Grad des Anpassungsverhaltens vom Grade der Übereinstimmung zwischen europäischen Anforderungen und den vorhandenen nationalen Strukturen und Praktiken abhängt, stellt unsere Basishypothese dar. Im Verlaufe der empirischen Analyse entwickeln wir dieses "goodness of fit" Konzept weiter, indem wir die Einbettung nationaler Strukturen in die vorherrschende Verwaltungstradition von sowohl statischer als auch dynamischer Perspektive betrachten. Weiterhin entwickeln wir ein Erklärungsmodell, das die soziologischen und "rational choice" Varianten institutionelle Ansätze versucht zu verbinden.
