Water, food, security, warmth and compassion for other beings are the most essential and existential demands on the environment and society for humans to survive. The organisation of these demands is the main driver of societal and political practice and follows specific traditional, historical, spiritual, cultural, socio-economic and very private rules. On the material side they depend on the availability of, and power over, land, natural resources and labour. On the immaterial side they depend on the deep sources of the embedded collective psychosocial experiences of past and present generations. Here, in the moderation of power, of the availability and value of material and immaterial goods, is the core factor for future sustainable living and production. This article discusses the thesis that the success of the internal implementation and external cooperation within European environmental policy is not per se, and solely, influenced by the choice of regulatory instruments but by the quality of the negotiations on the use of common pool resources. |
