Title:

Networks of Prescribed Interaction in Chilean Envir onmental Governance

Abstract:

Environmental policies increas ingly depend on coordination among multiple public agencies\, yet the coor dination they prescribe is rarely examined at the moment of design. Decont amination plans are a clear case. A single plan addresses diverse problems \, some with identifiable sources that authorities can target directly and others with diffuse sources whose resolution depends on many interdepende nt actors.

We ask whether this difference leaves an imprint on how policies prescribe coordination. We argue that the nature of the problem s hapes policy design\, because the instruments feasible for each problem ca rry rules that define who must interact with whom and therefore produce di stinct architectures of prescribed coordination. \;We examine thi s argument in two Chilean decontamination plans that govern different envi ronmental media\, the Villarrica Lake Basin Water Pollution Control Plan a nd the Santiago Metropolitan Region Atmospheric Prevention and Decontamina tion Plan.

Using Institutional Grammar 2.0\, we decompo se each plan into institutional statements and reconstruct multilevel netw orks of prescribed interaction among public agencies\, among tasks\, and b etween agencies and the tasks the rules assign them. We then apply network motif analysis and multilevel Exponential Random Graph Models to compare the coordination prescribed for identifiable-source and diffuse problems.

In both plans\, coordination is anchored in managing ag encies\, while shared responsibility\, in which coordinated agencies conve rge on the same tasks\, intensifies where sources are diffuse. Each plan t hus rests on a common managerial backbone that adds distributed convergenc e in proportion to the interdependence of each problem. The comparison acr oss water and air suggests that the nature of the problem\, more than the policy domain\, drives the coordination that formal rules create. It also offers a way to anticipate the coordination demands placed on subnational actors.
