		Political scientists consider The Netherlands a classic example of a consociational state, at least in part caused by the necessity in the Netherlands since the middle ages for different cities to cooperate in order to fight the water (different cities were at the time like different countries by today's standards, and often at war).

		The municipal authorities adhere to the target group policy, because this means that environmental policy is internalized in a branch of industry and is developed in a corporate environmental plan by the individual companies.
