European Union External Environmental Policy: Rules, Regulation and Governance Beyond Borders

Adelle, Camilla, Katja Biedenkopf, Diarmuid Torney (Eds). 2018. European Union External Environmental Policy: Rules, Regulation and Governance Beyond Borders. Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract

This book considers the environmental policies that the EU employs outside its borders. Using a systematic and coherent approach to cover a range of EU activities, environmental issues, and geographical areas, it charts the EU’s attempts to shape environmental governance beyond its borders. Key questions addressed include: What environmental norms, rules and policies does the EU seek to promote outside its territory? What types of activities does the EU engage in to pursue these objectives? How successful is the EU in achieving its external environmental policy objectives? What factors explain the degree to which the EU attains its goals? The book will be of interest to students and academics as well as practitioners in governments (both inside and outside of the EU), the EU institutions, think tanks, and research institutes.
