Abstract
That there is a question of a paradigm shift in Dutch environmental policy, both at the level of discourse on policy and its implementation, has been pointed out several times in this book. This paradigm shift is also referred to in this chapter as ‘policy innovation’. The key words in this change include: a differentiation in the objectives, flexibility in the set of instruments, openness and interaction in implementing policy, and the integration of policy discourses (e.g. ‘the environment and space’, ‘the environment and the economy’, ‘sustainable development’).
