Environmental Policy in the EU: Actors, Institutions and Processes


Add your own review!

Overview

The European Union (EU) has a hugely important effect on the way in which environmental policies are framed, designed and implemented in many parts of the world, but especially Europe. The new edition of this leading textbook provides a state-of-the-art analysis of the EU’s environmental policies. Comprising five parts, Environmental Policy in the EU covers the rapidly changing context in which EU environmental policies are made, the key actors who interact to co-produce them and the most salient dynamics of policy making, ranging from agenda setting and decision making, through to implementation and evaluation. Written by leading international experts, individual chapters examine how the EU is responding to a multitude of different challenges, including biodiversity loss, climate change, energy insecurity, and water and air pollution. They tease out the different ways in which the EU’s policies on these topics co-evolve with national and international environmental policies. In this systematically updated fourth edition, a wider array of learning features are employed to ensure that readers fully understand how EU environmental policies have developed over the last 50 years and how they are currently adapting to the rapidly evolving challenges of the twenty-first century, including the COVID-19 pandemic. It is an essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying environmental policy and politics, climate change, environmental law and EU politics more broadly.

The editors mix perspectives in such way that the historical trajectory of EU policy making is connected to new challenges. This is a book that should be on everybody's desk who has an interest in the topic. -- Hans Bruyninckx, Executive Director, European Environment Agency This rich and insightful volume should be considered essential reading by lawyers and political scientists alike. With contributions by leading experts... it provides a one-stop-shop for exploring the complex and evolving dynamics of EU environmental policy. Highly recommended! -- Joanne Scott, Professor of European Law, European University Institute An indispensable resource to anyone interested in understanding how environmental policy in Europe is now being made and implemented. -- David Vogel, University of California, USA This new edition ... is a must read for students of EU environmental policy. It contains a wealth of new material as well as concrete illustrations of some of Europe's flagship policy initiatives. -- Celine Charveriat, Executive Director, Institute for European Environmental Policy

The next generation of politicians, business leaders and environmentalists need to understand the role of environmental policy, how it is made, and why it is so important for the future of humanity. -- Virginius Sinkevicius, European Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries This volume, in its 4th edition, is by now a true classic. It is one of the few go-to references on EU environmental policy and brings together lead authors on crucial themes.

The contributing authors equally represent a strong mix of long-standing observers and younger contributors.

With contributions by leading experts examining key themes, it provides a one-stop-shop for launching an exploration into the complex and evolving dynamics of the internal and external aspects of EU environmental policy. While adopting a thematic approach, the volume offers insights into the substantive as well as the institutional dimensions of EU environmental policy.
