Multi-level biodiversity governance
• Concept emerged from studies on EU integration as a new wave of thinking about EU as one political system
• Multi-level governance- governance dispersed across multiple jurisdictions
• governance = increased interdependence between governments and non-governmental actors at various territorial levels
(Bache and Flinders 2004)

• The EU theoretically became “complex and very dynamic polity in which decision-making powers are shared between different vertical tiers of authority (supranational, national, subnational)” (Jordan A. 2001)
• However, normative stance prevails : - MLG more effective than central state monopoly - Biodiversity can successfully be maintained by such complex, multi-layered governance systems

Challenge for new EU member states?
• Jehlička & Tickle (2004) have recognized more passive approach of these countries in EU environmental policy-making, due to previous 'top-down' imposition of EU requirements, which came to be the leading framework of their environmental policy.

Effects
- Low level of participation
-> conflicts over management of forests inside protected areas
-> research interest: role of property regimes ?

Cooperatives“urbariats”
- Common type of property
- The size of owned land differs among cooperatives and within cooperatives
- Benefits shared
- Costs: maintenance of forest

Interviews
How do they make their choices over forest management?
Interviews suggest that… (data still under process!)
- important role of power relationships
- size of owned forest play role
- costs burden
- emotional attachment
