The project aims to theorize the scalar organization of natural resource governance in the European Union. This research agenda is inspired by critical geographers‘ work on the politics of scale. The research will examine an analytical framework derived from theories of institutional change and multi-level govern-ance to fill this theoretical gap. Furthermore, it will review conceptualizations of the state in institutional economics, evaluate their adequacy to capture the role of the state in the dynamics identified, and de-velop them further. The described processes may imply shifts in administrative levels, shifts in relations between different levels and changes in spatial delimitations of competent jurisdictions that result, for example, from decentralization or the introduction of river basin oriented administrative structures. The research investigates the implications of two European Directives: the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). They both have potentially great significance for the organization of marine and water governance at the level of Member States and below, and adhere to similar regulatory ideas for achieving good ecological status of waters. A multiple case study on changes in the scalar reorganization of marine and water governance that result from the implementation of the Directives will be carried out. It will rely on qualitative and quantitative data gathering based on semi-structured interviews and review of secondary and tertiary sources looking at Portugal, Spain, and Germany. It specifically addresses the role of social ecological transactions, the structure of decision making processes and the role of changes in contextual factors (such as ideologies, interdependent institutions and technology).

该项目旨在将欧洲联盟自然资源治理的等级组织理论化。这一研究议程的灵感来自于批判地理学家对规模政治的研究。本研究将从制度变迁理论和多层次治理理论出发，构建一个分析框架，以填补这一理论空白。此外，它将审查制度经济学中国家的概念化，评估其是否足以捕捉国家在所确定的动态中的作用，并进一步发展它们。所述进程可能意味着行政级别的变化、不同级别之间关系的变化以及主管管辖权的空间划界的变化，这些变化是权力下放或采用面向河流流域的行政结构等原因造成的。该研究调查了两个欧洲指令的含义：水框架指令（WFD）和海洋战略框架指令（MSFD）。这两项公约对在成员国及以下各级组织海洋和水资源治理具有潜在的重大意义，并坚持实现沃茨良好生态状况的类似监管理念。将开展一项多案例研究，探讨因实施《指示》而导致的海洋和水资源治理的等级重组变化。它将依赖于定性和定量数据收集的基础上半结构化的采访和审查的第二和第三来源看葡萄牙，西班牙和德国。它具体涉及社会生态交易的作用，决策过程的结构和环境因素（如意识形态，相互依存的机构和技术）的变化的作用。
