Designing governance frameworks for the Bioeconomy
Component 3 employs a multi-level perspective on researching the governance of bio-based societal transformative processes. It asks: which type of policies and legislations anticipated to regulate and foster Bioeconomy-related socio-economic processes have been employed by which type of country? What are the major actors and which role do technological and other innovations play in these processes within specific country contexts? What are the outcomes?
AIMS

- Developing a typology of Bioeconomy strategies regarding policies and governance approaches
- Incrementally develop design elements for a theory-informed and evidence-based governance framework for regulating Bioeconomy related transformative processes along supply chains
WORK IN PROGRESS
- Development of research proposal while deepening knowledge about the cases
- Gain understanding of governing towards sustainable transitions and societal transformations
- Scientific publication of a theory-informed conceptual approach towards governing bio-based transformative processes towards sustainability
NEXT STEPS
- Analyse Bioeconomy related governance frameworks in three case studies taking into account international agreements and governance arrangements
