Apart from its aim to formulate the general conclusions of the book, this final chapter is at the same time intended as a stimulus for further discussion and research. We hope to achieve this by combining and comparing the two parts of this book. Part I dealt with theories on institutionalisation, political modernisation and policy arrangements. Based upon these theories and insights, we developed a specific conceptual framework to analyse environmental policy making, centred on the ‘policy arrangements’ concept. A ‘policy arrangement’ refers to the temporary stabilisation of the organisation and substance of a policy domain at a specific level of policy making. By introducing this concept we believe it is possible to analyse the dynamics of environmental politics as being the interplay or duality between macro-processes of social and political change, understood as political modernisation, and interactions between actors in day-to-day policy processes. In part II of the book five authors applied this analytical scheme to specific domains or cases in environmental policies.
