Abstract (English)
The presentation of the conceptual level of regional economic policy making as well as the empirical examination of policy practice has shown that there is still a significant lack of integration of environmental and sustainability issues into other policy fields. Even for the federal province of Salzburg which has signed and drafted a number of environment and sustainability-related policy guidelines, many concrete policy instruments and programs do not account for integrative approaches. As a recommendation for regional policy makers, the cornerstones of a sustainability-compliant state aid program are drafted.
