The Institutionalisation of Multi-level Changes: Sustainable Development, Values and Territory
(original language – English)
This article addresses the institutional changes that local communities face when implementing sustainable development policies. Analyses suggest that because of the strength of the territorial institutions, most institutionalisation and innovation are incremental and create marginal organisational changes, in particular, within local governments. However, some institutions are designed to improve the territorial consistency of public sustainability decisions.
Key words: Institutional change, Multi-level governance, Sustainable development, Textual analysis, Public service production, Values.
