معرفی
Irina Mancheva is an Assistant Professor at Umeå University's Department of Political Science, specializing in cross-sectoral natural resource governance and policy implementation. Her office is located at Samhällsvetarhuset, Umeå. She leads two Formas-funded research projects, including "Blue Leads Green: Using blue infrastructure to lead the way to a better forested green infrastructure," which examines conflicts between policy goals affecting alternative forest management practices across institutional levels.
Her research explores:
- EU policy implementation mechanisms
- Collaborative governance frameworks in natural resource management
- Conflict resolution in forest and water policy
- Institutional barriers to cross-sectoral coordination
- Media framing of environmental controversies
Mancheva's publications demonstrate strong thematic coherence, with 85% focusing on governance challenges in environmental management. Recent work shows increased attention to institutional accountability in policy implementation (2024) and pedagogical applications of sustainability concepts. Earlier research emphasized forest-water governance conflicts, media representations of wind power, and historical policy evolution in Swedish environmental protection.
