Governing Sustainable Development Through ‘Policy Coherence’? The Production and Circulation of Knowledge in the Eu and the Oecd

Abstract: This article studies the production and circulation of approaches for sustainable development governance focusing on the ‗Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development' (PCSD) concept. The concept has evolved from a side note international reports to a central target in the 2030 Agenda (SDG 17). The first part compares the understanding of ‗Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development' in the OECD and in the EU which were essential in its emergence and dissemination. The second part relates these findings to th… Show more

“…The successful expansion of the question outside and within academia is also explained by the growing commitment of international organizations, such as the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD), the United Nations (UN), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 1 the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Trade Organization (WTO), to address complex issues and new policy agendas (sustainable development, climate change, hunger‐poverty, and food security, migration; Howlett & Rayner, 2007; Nilsson et al, 2012; Picciotto, 2005; Tosun & Lang, 2017). The question of PC had gained prominence since 2015 when policy makers recognized that coherence and integration into policymaking are becoming essential features of the global 2030 Agenda governance and that the three sustainability dimensions—economic, social, and environmental—must be balanced and mutually reinforced (ECDPM, 2016; Koff & Maganda, 2016; Zeigermann, 2018; Nilsson & Weitz, 2019). 2 IOs and EU advocate PC as a policy tool to assess the impact of programs and policies for undeveloped and developing countries, and to improve cross‐sectoral governance in all countries.…”

“…The past years have seen the development of a growing number of PCSD assessment and monitoring frameworks (OECD 2016;Collste et al 2017;Nilsson and Weitz 2019). The basic idea behind PCSD is to avoid, nationally and internationally, contradictions (i.e., tradeoffs) between individual policies, while fostering synergies among them on behalf of the SDGs (Dohlman 2016;Zeigermann 2018). Establishing PCSD involves balancing diverging interests and accounting for winners and losers in society.…”

“…This point in addition to those challenges may be relevant for other new-comer countries to the modern bio-production industry as well. Policy coherence for development (PCD) was believed to be an approach for integrating various dimensions of sustainable development at all stages of domestic and international policy making (Zeigermann, 2018). Regarding the criticism made by the thinkers about its focus (Barder et al , 2013), this study is an evidence-based effort to bring policy coherence as an approach in sectoral level (while political settlement lies in governance level).…”
