title: A Policy Perspective on the Performance of Marine Spatial Planning - Guiding or following offshore wind energy development in the Netherlands?

full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis examines to what extent and how Dutch marine spatial planning (MSP) performs in guiding offshore wind energy development in the North Sea. Contrary to the common perception in literature of MSP as a ‘tool’ for sea-use management, in this thesis MSP is positioned as the planning system for the sea. MSP can then be examined from a policy perspective, in which institutions and institutional design are focal points. Therefore, this thesis will not only look at conformance of the outcomes of MSPs to set objectives (as is currently the case in MSP literature), but instead explore how MSP is used in decision-making about offshore wind energy (performance). The results show that in the Netherlands, decision-making is focused on cost-effective and fast realization of targets set by the policy network around renewable energy. MSP appears to be following rather than guiding these decisions regarding offshore wind energy development.
