- Title
Orchestrating sustainability: The case of European Union biofuel governance.
- Authors
Schleifer, Philip
- Abstract
This article provides an empirical analysis of orchestration - that is, the initiation, support, and embracement of private governance arrangements through public regulators - in the field of European Union biofuel governance. It examines the emerging sustainability regime and shows that orchestration has been extensively practiced. Regulators in the European Union have used a range of directive and facilitative measures to initiate and support private biofuel certification schemes and to incorporate them in their regulatory frameworks. This has given rise to a hybrid regime in which public and private approaches are closely intertwined. Discussing the benefits and complications of engaging with private biofuel sustainability governance, the article's findings point to a partial failure of orchestration in this policy area.
