Reviews

’This book examines the role of subnational authorities in facilitating or hindering effective implementation of EU environmental policies. Based on extensive field research and case studies, the study offers a rich analysis of why good policies crafted in Brussels so often fail to be implemented on the ground. A helpful implementation map guides the reader through the multi-layered and complex process of EU policy formulation, transposition and implementation. The book will be useful to academics and policy makers interested in environmental policy, implementation studies, or the role of subnational actors more generally.’ Dr Elizabeth Bomberg, Lecturer, Dept of Politics, University of Edinburgh, UK ’The strength of the book is that it addresses a number of debates and that it is of interest beyond the specalist area of the EU Environmental politics.’ Environmental Politics ’...this book [makes] a significant contribution to a better understanding of the implementation deficit and presents a clearer picture of the reality of EU environmental policy.’ European Review of Public Law
