Environmental Politics in the European Union by Christoph Knill

Environmental Politics in the European Union by Christoph Knill

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the development, making and implementation of European Union environmental politics and identifies the central areas and instruments of EU environmental policy. It analyses the factors influencing not only the formulation but also the implementation of environmental measures in the complex multi-level setting of the EU. On this basis, it takes a critical look at the EU's effectiveness and problem-solving capacity in the environmental field. Designed as a textbook at undergraduate and graduate level, the book employs a clear and insightful analytical perspective based on the theoretical state-of-the-art of EU policy studies. Thus, it provides an overview of the major theoretical approaches available in the field. At the same time, the discussion is illustrated by a broad range of empirical findings with regard to the formulation and implementation of EU environmental policy. This study is an ideal companion for anyone seeking a concise and accessible introduction into EU environmental politics.

Christoph Knill is Professor of Political and Administrative Science at the University of Konstanz, Germany. Duncan Liefferink is Senior Researcher at the Department of Political Sciences of the Environment at Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands
