`In Europe, climate and energy policies have become inextricably intertwined in the minds of politicians, businesses and civil society organizations. This ambitious book offers a 360 degree analysis of the interlinking strategies designed and employed by policymakers at the EU level and in critically important member-states. In doing so it offers a richly textured answer to a puzzle that has always perplexed analysts: how and why do states manage to adopt policies that are significantly at odds with the preferences of the least ambitious?' -- Andrew Jordan, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of East Anglia, UK `This book not only provides an in-depth analysis of the recent development of EU climate and energy policy from the climate and energy package for 2020 to the climate and energy policy framework for 2030, it is also noteworthy for its skilful and innovative combination of EU and member-state level analysis across a full policy cycle covering policy initiation, decision-making, implementation and policy reform. Recommended reading!' -- Sebastian Oberthur, Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Belgium `This book is one that all scholars, students and citizens with any interest in EU environmental and energy politics will benefit from reading and re-reading.' -- Local Environment
