Summary

This chapter describes and explores the effectiveness of regulatory mixes in different governance arrangements in (offshore) oil production. The changing role of states has resulted in the coexistence of state-based, market based and hybrid governance arrangements at different levels that have the authority to evoke compliance from those who are ruled. This chapter discusses the regulatory mixes in three oil production governance arrangements, which differ in forms of authority and levels of governance: first, the development of market-based arrangements of Dutch offshore oil platforms; second, the development of Social Licence to Operate arrangements in the Arctic; and third, the development of benefit-sharing arrangements between oil companies and indigenous communities. This chapter not only gives insight in the coexistence of governance arrangements governing the offshore oil production in different institutional settings, but also the different regulatory mixes within these arrangements. For each of these governance arrangements the regulatory mixes (policy instruments) are described and their effectiveness is evaluated. In other words, are the regulatory mixes in these governance arrangements smart? Do they contribute to changes in the behaviour of public and private actors (outcome), and do they contribute to the solution of environmental problems (impact)?
