Reviews

'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 Oberthuer, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium; 'In Europe, climate and energy policies have become inextricably intertwined in the minds of politicians, businesses and civil society organisations. This ambitious book offers a 360 degree analysis of the interlinking strategies designed and employed by policy makers at EU level and in four 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, UK
