A Guide to EU Environmental Policy: Actors, Institutions, and Processes

by Andrew Jordan

Overview

* Collection of the most innovative and incisive writing on the environmental policies of the EU
* Essential reference and course book for environmental politics and European politics courses
* Emphases how policy is a dynamic process and examines the roles of the main actors and institutions

The European Union has come to dominate the way environmental policy is thought about, developed and implemented throughout Europe. It is also a guide and benchmark for policy elsewhere in the world. This Guide brings together the best and most influential work on the full range of EU environmental policy. Incorporating a range of case studies, it draws out the links between levels of governance and the role of environment in other policy areas such as agriculture, trade and transport. The editor's introduction explores the important theoretical and empirical questions raised by the development of EU policy and the challenges of the new sustainability agenda. The result is a highly useful primer and source book for all those involved or studying environmental politics and policy, not just in Europe but in other regions too.
