Legitimate and Effective Water Management in the European Union: the stakeholders perspective in times of proceduralisation
15.10.2013
to 14.10.2016
General project description
In water management, a shift has taken place from a government to a governance approach. This approach is characterised by proceduralisation and by participation of stakeholders in norm setting, compliance and enforcement. This approach is assumed to be legitimate and effective and it should eventually lead to equitable and sustainable water management. Case studies will be conducted to test these assumptions in the area of water quality, by using the position of the stakeholders as starting point.

Widdershoven’s research focuses on the influence of European law on the administrative law systems of the Member States, especially in the areas of judicial protection (including court administration), the enforcement of law and general principles of law. Currently he works on projects for the Dutch Council for the Judiciary (evaluation of the new system of judicial protection in tax matters in the Netherlands) and for the Dutch Department of Justice (comparative study on transnational cooperation in enforcement matters).
