Decentralization, national context and environmental policy performance: a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis

Abstract

This study examines the complex relationship between decentralization, national context and environment policy performance with the cross-sectional data from 118 countries. Decentralization is decomposed into three dimensions: political, fiscal and administrative. Both multiple regression analysis and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis are adopted. Results show that: (1) political, fiscal and administrative decentralization differ in their impacts on environmental policy performance. (2) There are multiple pathways, constituted by specific configurations of decentralization and context conditions, to high (or low) environmental policy performance. (3) High environmental policy performance occurs most often when a country is fiscally and administratively decentralized and its context is favorable, i.e. advanced economy, good governance and stringent environmental regulations. In this situation, political decentralization seems to be irrelevant to the outcome. (4) Low environmental policy performance occurs most often when a country, without the favorable context mentioned above, become fiscally centralized, regardless of whether political and administrative decentralization is present or not. This study suggests policy makers should keep in mind the contextual fit of decentralization and adopt a configurational thinking in environmental governance.
