Ritualizando Cuerpos Y Paisajes: Títol Environmental governance and new ICTs: the impact of new information and communication technologies on global environmental governance Jérôme Duberry TESI DOCTORAL UPF / 2014 PROFESSOR JOSEP IBAÑEZ DEPARTAMENT DE DRET ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Law Department of the University Pompeu Fabra and in particular my tutor Professor Dr. Josep Ibáñez Muñoz for his academic and personal support, and members of the Secretariat Lluïsa and Adela. I also would like to thank my parents for their encouragement, Max for his valuable comments and faithful support, Angela for her faith in me, my dear local friends Diego and Jessica, my Bloom and Boom dream team, and all those whose presence from close or far made this thesis possible. iii iv Abstract The doctoral dissertation deals with the impact of the use of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) on global environmental governance. The objective of the research is to analyze the influence of these technologies on the legitimacy of global governance tools and on the competences of global non-state actors –as part of global civil society– involved in processes of environmental politics. After defining the context in which new ICTs emerge, the thesis develops two case studies. The first one analyzes the resolution and recommendation process of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). It illustrates that the use of new ICT improves the participation and the creation of consensus around certain values, and shows therefore that the use of new ICTs has a positive impact on the legitimacy of this global governance mechanism. The second case study examines the use of new ICTs by IUCN and demonstrates that it has no substantial impact on the internal capacities of the organization. However, it has a positive yet limited impact on the external competences of IUCN, since it improves the organization’s capacity to communicate only with its traditional audience. v Resumen La tesis doctoral trata el impacto de la generalización de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC) sobre la gobernanza global del medio ambiente. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar la influencia de estas nuevas tecnologías sobre la legitimidad de los mecanismos de gobernanza global y sobre las capacidades de los actores globales no estatales –como parte de la sociedad civil global– implicados en estos procesos de política medioambiental . Después de definir el contexto en el cual emergen las nuevas TIC, la tesis desarrolla dos casos de estudio. El primero de ellos analiza la evolución del proceso de resoluciones y recomendaciones de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN) y permite ilustrar que el uso de las nuevas TIC mejora la participación en este proceso y la creación de consenso en torno a determinados valores. Por ello, el uso de las nuevas TIC tiene un impacto positivo sobre la legitimidad de este mecanismo de gobernanza global. El segundo caso analiza el uso de las nuevas TIC por parte de la UICN y demuestra que no tiene un impacto sustancial sobre las capacidades internas de esta organización. Sin embargo, sí cabe reseñar un impacto positivo pero limitado sobre las competencias externas de la UICN, de modo que mejora la capacidad de la organización para comunicar tan sólo con su audiencia tradicional. vi Index page List of tables and figures........................................................... ix List of abbreviations................................................................... xi Introduction................................................................................. 1 Part 1.

It is devoted to regional development in Russia, an issue which is widely discussed due to the size and diversity of the world’s largest country. Starting business in Russia is not always as easy as in other countries, but success is possible. Many factors influence this, but one of the key issues is to choose the right place for development. However, the current crisis enforces companies to optimise their structures. Despite this, many persevere and see opportunities especially in the regions. Cost efficiency, easy management, logistics, market opportunities are all, of course, very important for any development. But the direction of the business also strongly depends on the region: an area may be suitable for one kind of entrepreneur- ship but not necessarily for another.
