This paper compares the respective contributions of the Swedish sustainable
development strategy (SDS) and the country’s National Environmental Quality
Objectives (NEQOs) in establishing what Steurer and Martinuzzi (2005) refer to
as “strategic public management”, an ideal model of what an effective
governance framework for promoting sustainable development might look like.
Key elements of strategic public management that are considered are the
facilitation of policy learning, horizontal and vertical policy integration
and the meaningful engagement of relevant non-governmental stakeholders. The
paper identifies the central achievements and challenges of the SDS and the
NEQOs in establishing these central elements of strategic public management in
practice. In this context, it also addresses how these two governance
instruments have faired in tackling some of the past shortcomings of
sustainable development strategies in delivering an effective framework for
strategic public management, resulting in the “administered strategies”
described in Steurer (2008). It argues that the NEQOs’ relative success in
influencing policy making processes in Sweden is linked to its strong
political and institutional foundation as compared to the comparatively weak
political mandate and low level of institutionalization of the SDS. Among
other things, it relates this to the different political processes leading to
the establishment of the two instruments. Despite the achievements of the
NEQOs, however, the paper also identifies important challenges for leveraging
the NEQOs' strong monitoring system for shaping concrete policy making
processes and engaging stakeholders. Based on these insights, the paper
concludes with a discussion on the future potential of the NEQOs and the SDS
as frameworks for strategic public management in Sweden and draws more general
lessons for the establishment of more effective governance frameworks for
sustainable development.
