The EU's eastern partnership as international governance
This article analyzes the civil society dimension and pays particular attention to the role of civil society's organizations within the EU's Eastern Partnership's governance and networking processes. The study is based on the EU's documents' analysis and the data of qualitative interviews conducted between 2011-2014 from the respondents of the EU's institutions (European Commission, EEAS, EP), member states' representations in Brussels, and the members of the Eastern Partnership civil society forum created in 2009. The study shows that the representatives of civil society organizations are seeking to be involved and are existent in most of the stages and interactional modes of the EU's relations with the Eastern Partnership countries, and this process predicts the conditions for the emergence of international governance in the Eastern neighborhood space. On the other hand, the representatives of CSOs are complaining about not being involved enough in the negotiations deciding over the Association or other kind of agreements between the EU and their (EaP) country.

Governance, medierna och makten: Forestallningar om mediemakt i regeringskansliet
In: Statsvetenskaplig tidskrift, Band 110, Heft 4, S. 369-384
ISSN: 0039-0747
This article reports a study on the role of the media in democratic governance. Interestingly, this issue has not been given much attention by researchers, neither by media scholars with little interest in governance, nor by governance scholars with little knowledge about how the media works. Yet, as this study substantiates, the media is a key actor in governance. Theoretically, the paper aims at providing a cross-fertilization of perspectives on the role of the media in governance by drawing on governance research as well as on research on political communication & the public sphere. The empirical aim of the paper is to analyze how policy makers assess the importance of the media in governance. A key question addressed is the significance of fostering good media relations in order to be successful in governance in different policy areas. In addition, the paper analyzes the media strategies of policy makers' in terms of the intensity of the media contacts & of whether or not the policy makers themselves initiate the contacts. The study draws on a unique dataset, comprising questionnaire responses from the corporate, political, cultural & administrative elites (policymakers within the central government office) in Sweden. Adapted from the source document.
Global Forest Governance – Discussing legal scholarship from political science perspectives
Scholarship in international law aims at addressing global forest governance comprehensively. This article reviews the recent contribution Global Forest Governance - Legal Concepts and Policy Trends by Rowena Maguire and puts it into the perspective of recent political and policy science research on global forests. While finding Maguire's volume being a very timely and valuable contribution to the interdisciplinary discussions on international forest governance, we identify some weaknesses which are mostly rooted in methodological critique and a lack of a systematic framework for analysis.

ES finansavimo poveikis regionų valdysenai Lietuvoje ; The impact of EU funding on regional governance
The purpose of the research is to determine the impact of EU funding on regional govern-ance of Tauragė and Vilnius. The term "regional governance" is a rather new phenomenon within the governance dis-course, therefore it is significant to analyse and delve into the principles of regional governance in order to ensure the economic and social growth of regions not only within Lithuania, but also within the whole European Union (hereinafter referred to as EU). It has been established that regional gov-ernance is based on the principles of cohesion policy in Lithuania. One of the cohesion policy princi-ples is that EU provides funding to ensure economic growth and competitiveness of regions. In Lithuania, EU funding policy is implemented by the Government and ministries, which act under Regulations of the European Parliament and of the Council. Within regions, the regional governance is implemented through the adoption of regional development plans, which are affected by EU funding. The research is divided in two stages in order to elucidate and consolidate the findings. The decisions made throughout the period from 2016 to 2019 by Tauragė and Vilnius regions are analyzed in the first stage of the research, and it showed that there are challenges regarding the EU requirements for the absorption of funding. EU funding has an impact on the change of decisions made by the Development Council on the adjustment of regional programs for 2014-2020. The in-terview carried out in the second stage consolidates the findings from the first stage. It supports the fact that the regional governance in Tauragė and Vilnius is strictly formed in accordance with EU funding. The agenda and adopted decisions by regional development councils fully depend on EU funding. A drastic conclusion was reached that if EU funding was discontinued, the regional gov-ernance in Tauragė and Vilnius would cease to function.
