The Handbook on European Union Climate Change Policy and Politics
provides a wide-ranging and in-depth assessment of current and
emerging challenges facing the EU in committing to and delivering
increasingly ambitious climate policy objectives. It traces the
development of climate and energy policies since the early 1990s
and examines their continued evolution in the context of the 2019
European Green Deal. With contributions from leading international
scholars, it describes the key dynamics driving policy developments
and the role of key actors in climate and energy-related policy
processes. Covering topics that have previously been relatively
neglected, or have recently gained greater significance, such as
finance and investment, ‘hard to abate’ sectors and negative
emissions, this timely Handbook offers an up-to-date and unrivalled
exploration of the complexities of climate policymaking. It will be
of primary interest to academics researching EU politics, and
environmental politics, policy, regulation and governance more
widely. It will be especially pertinent to students and researchers
who require more specialized knowledge of EU climate policy and
politics.
The development of the policy analysis field has had at least two
quite different trajectories. One started in the US, emphasizing
the policy formulation stage, while the other developed largely in
Europe, highlighting the implementation process. This volume
indicates how the two paths have intersected. The thirteen chapters
offer new insights to both groups and draw on a broad span of
literatures to explore this topic, with contributions from nearly
forty individuals across the globe. Its discussion of tools of
policy formulation, as well as the analysis of actors, capacities,
venues and effects, sets the structure for a future agenda.' -
Beryl Radin, McCourt School of Public Policy, Georgetown
University, US'In this important collection, Andrew Jordan and John
Turnpenny have thrown new light on an important and neglected
topic: the tools needed to make more effective policies.
Policymakers themselves have become ever more engaged in using
these new analytical techniques and the service that this book
performs is to foster a better understanding of them, showing the
role of the broader political environment. The editors and
contributing authors to this well-written and engaging book really
have done an excellent job.' - Peter John, University College
London, UK Policy analysts are accustomed to thinking in terms of
tools and instruments. Yet an authoritative examination of the
tools which have been developed to formulate new policies is
missing. This book is the first of its kind to distinguish the
defining characteristics of the main policy formulation tools, and
offer a fresh way of understanding how, why and by whom they are
selected, as well as the effects they produce in practice. The
editors bring together thirteen specially commissioned chapters
that, for the first time, explore the tools and their features in a
comparable fashion, including: scenarios, indicators, computerized
models, cost-benefit and multi-criteria analysis. They develop a
novel analytical framework for understanding the form and function
of the main tools, which encompasses definitions of key terms, a
typology and relevant theoretical explanations. This book will
appeal to postgraduate students, scholars and researchers of policy
analysis, public policy, decision making and public management. It
will also encourage developers and practitioners of policy
formulation tools to reflect critically on their work.

Environmental Policy Integration (EPI) is an innovative policy
principle designed to deliver sustainable development. This book
offers an unrivalled exploration of its conceptualization and
implementation, drawing upon a set of interlinked case studies of
the most common implementing instruments and the varied experience
of applying them in six OECD states and the EU. Written by a team
of international experts, it identifies and explains broad patterns
and dynamics in what is an important area of contemporary
environmental policy analysis. This insightful account of the
state-of-the-art aims to offer a valuable resource for academics
interested in environmental politics and policy analysis, as well
as the broader, interdisciplinary theme of 'governance for
sustainable development'. It will interest advanced undergraduate
and postgraduate students taking courses in comparative politics,
public administration and environmental politics and policy-making.
Given the continuing political relevance of sustainability, it
should also appeal to NGOs, think tanks and international bodies
attempting to coordinate policies across and within different
levels of governance.
'This book fills an important gap in the environmental governance
literature, addressing governance at a lower level of abstraction
than other texts and examining how it plays out in relation to
specific modes and instruments of governing. It also contributes
towards governance theory-building efforts through the development
of an empirically relevant analytical framework. In so doing it
provides a firm underpinning for assessing whether, to what extent
and in what ways there has been a transition from government
towards governance in environmental policy.' - Neil Gunningham,
Australian National University'Theoretically sophisticated and
empirically rich, this book provides an overview of the
introduction, development, and use of new policy instruments and
new modes of environmental governance in the European context,
taking into account both national and European Union experiences.
This is a welcome addition to the field!' - Miranda Schreurs,
Environmental Policy Research Centre and Free University of Berlin,
Germany European governance has witnessed dramatic changes in
recent decades. By assessing the use of 'new' environmental policy
instruments in European Union countries including the United
Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria, this timely book
analyses whether traditional forms of top-down government have
given way to less hierarchical governance instruments, which rely
strongly on societal self-steering and/or market forces. The
authors provide important new theoretical insights as well as fresh
empirical detail on why, and in what form, these instruments are
being adopted within and across different levels of governance,
along with analysis of the often-overlooked interactions between
the instrument types. Providing important new theoretical insights
into the governance debate by combining institutionalist and policy
learning/transfer approaches, this book will be invaluable for both
undergraduate and postgraduate students. The analytical insights as
well as a thorough empirical assessment of the use of environmental
policy instruments in practice will prove essential for
environmental policy specialists/practitioners. Contents: Preface

Following the landmark Paris agreement, policy makers are under
pressure to adopt policies that rapidly deliver deep, society-wide
decarbonisation. Deep decarbonisation requires more durable
policies, but not enough is known about if and how they actually
emerge. This book provides the first systematic analysis of the
determinants of policy durability in three high-profile areas:
biofuel production, car transport, and industrial emissions. It
breaks new ground by exploring how key European Union climate
policies have shaped their own durability and their ability to
stimulate supportive political dynamics in society. It combines
state-of-the-art policy theories with empirical accounts of
landmark political events such as 'Dieselgate' and the campaign
against 'dirty' biofuels, to offer a fresh understanding of how and
why policy makers set about packaging together different elements
of policy. By shining new light on an important area of
contemporary policy making, it reveals a rich agenda for academic
researchers and policy makers.
