"Das Hochschulsystem Großbritanniens ist in den vergangenen Jahren massiv umgestaltet worden - gerade auch mit Blick auf die Studienfinanzierung. Anneliese Dodds und Ed Turner untersuchen die Etappen dieser Veränderungen von den 1970ern bis zu den 1990er Jahren, von 1997 bis 2010 und seit 2010." (Autorenreferat)

This article examines environmental governance in Kosovo, with a particular focus on the energy sector. The article considers the degree to which the emerging model of environmental governance is characterised by hierarchical and non-hierarchical modes of coordination. We examine the roles of a number of domestic institutions and actors – ministries, agencies, and regulatory bodies– and the influence of external actors, including the European Union, the United States, and Serbia. The European Union is building Kosovo's own hierarchical governance capacity by strengthening domestic institutions, whilst the United States focuses primarily on market liberalisation, whilst simultaneously supporting European Union efforts. Moreover, environmental policy change is not wholly or predominantly driven by domestic actors, which can partly be attributed to Kosovo's limited domestic sovereignty. We conclude that the emerging model of environmental governance in Kosovo is characterised by a weak hierarchy, partly as a result of external actor involvement, which disincentivises the government from responding to domestic non-state actor pressure.
