Dear colleagues,
we are happy to inform you about the publication of our new "research trends" paper on
bioeconomy politics and governance. It briefly discusses recent relevant literature delivering to a political
science perspective on bioeconomy and identifies 4 main research strands.
Michael Böcher, Annette Elisabeth Töller, Daniela Perbandt, Katrin Beer, Thomas Vogelpohl,
Research trends: Bioeconomy politics and governance, Forest Policy and Economics,
Volume 118, 2020, 102219.
We think that the paper could be useful to serve as starting point for further research from
a specific public policy / political science perspective on bioeconomy.
The paper is one result of the three year project
"Political processes of bioeconomy between economy and ecology"
http://www.bio-oekopoli.de/bio-oekopoli/en/,
a cooperation between FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany and
Otto-von-Guericke-University, Magdeburg, Germany.
It has been funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education (BMBF).
You can download the full paper by clicking on this link before August 01, 2020.
