It provides insights in the way in which democratic legitimacy is being 'produced' at different levels of governance. Building forth upon recent developments in democracy theory that have identified multiple forms of legitimacy, the volume observes a EU wide shift from output legitimacy to input and throughput legitimacy. Top down policy making is increasingly meeting local resistance. As a result, the importance for policy makers of enhancing the democratic legitimacy of their policy plans has increased. The popularity of deliberative decision-making procedures can be seen as a procedural answer to this state of affairs." "Nine case studies are presented: two case studies on protected species (geese in the Netherlands, and the great cormorant in Denmark, France and Italy), four case studies that zoom in on specific protected areas (in Spain, Finland, Poland and the UK), and three case studies with a locus on the implementation of Natura 2000 at the country level (Belgium, France and Germany). These case studies are followed by extensive comments."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record In Springer e-books Subject Nature conservation -- Law and legislation -- European Union countries Nature conservation -- Law and legislation -- European Union countries -- Cases Legitimacy of governments -- European Union countries Representative government and representation -- European Union countries Democracy -- European Union countries International and municipal law -- European Union countries Medical policy.
