Thesis Title: Manufacturing legitimacy of environmental policy
About
In my PhD project I analyze the production of scientific knowledge and its transformation into policy relevant knowledge. The project explores the process of defining an environmental problem, how and by whom relevant scientific knowledge is defined and how this knowledge is used in Norwegian parliamentary debates. The objective is both to disentangle how processes of knowledge production and transformation are correlated with the formation of legitimate political alternatives and to map the valuations used by political actors arguing for specific political alternatives. Thus, the project aims to provide new empirical and theoretical knowledge on the relation between knowledge production and the articulation of values that is embedded in political actions and environmental regulation.
The main case study are scientific and political processes related to the on-going development of an environmental management plan for the Barents Sea and the sea areas off the Lofoten islands.
Data are; a) verbatim reports from the Norwegian parliamentary debates on environmental problems related to cases (1970 – 2010) b) scientific and policy documents and c) interviews with natural scientists involved in the on-going work on the environmental management plan.
