The Baltic Sea ecosystem is displaying symptoms of extreme stress from multiple sources. These complex and “wicked” problems require cooperation by actors for multidisciplinary pooling of knowledge to completely understand the problem and adaptively learn in order to develop appropriate policy strategies. Inherent in the design of the European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) is the promise to foster cooperation by key BSR network governance actors, connecting them to develop joint policy arrangements needed for governing the challenges of the Baltic Sea. The EUSBSR is the key knowledge broker in the region and has the capacity to augment BSR network governance of the Baltic Sea. Despite the importance of knowledge transmission and policy learning to the EUSBSR, there has been no formal study of it in the literature. This paper aims to make a theoretical contribution to the literature by evaluating the latent potential of the EUSBSR to foster policy learning across BSR governance networks. It does this through document analysis focussing on the interaction platforms of the EUSBSR that interconnects BSR governance networks across policy sectors.

在波罗的海地区促进治理学习的潜力：欧洲联盟《波罗的海地区战略》的网络治理

波罗的海生态系统显示出来自多种来源的极端压力症状。这些复杂且“邪恶”的问题需要参与者进行合作，以跨学科的方式汇集知识，以完全理解问题并进行适应性学习，从而制定适当的政策策略。欧洲联盟波罗的海地区战略（EUSBSR）设计的内在要求是，希望加强BSR网络关键管理者之间的合作，将他们联系起来，以制定应对波罗的海挑战所需的联合政策安排。EUSBSR是该地区的主要知识经纪人，具有增强波罗的海BSR网络治理的能力。尽管知识传递和政策学习对EUSBSR十分重要，但是在文献中还没有对其进行正式研究。本文旨在通过评估EUSBSR在BSR治理网络中促进政策学习的潜在潜力，为文献做出理论上的贡献。它通过专注于EUSBSR的交互平台的文档分析来做到这一点，EUSBSR的交互平台跨策略部门互连BSR治理网络。
