The Future of European Union Environmental Politics and Policy
investigates the trajectory of European Union (EU) environmental
policy and reflects on how this hugely vital policy area of the EU
has evolved over the decades. Gathering together a selection of the
leading scholars working on European environmental policy, the
volume assesses the extent to which change has occurred in
important dimensions of EU environmental policy research. These
dimensions include the EU's values and approaches; the provision of
leadership; the possibilities of Brexit and the dismantling of
policies; policy instruments and climate change; policy
implementation and enforcement; and policy evaluation. The
contributors situate their research in the context of current
developments and conditions, including the global economic
challenges and the rise of political challenges to both European
governance and integration. Each chapter reviews the EU
environmental policy over the long term and assesses the
implications of current developments for the future health of
European environmental policy, European integration and the
environment itself. The Future of European Union Environmental
Politics and Policy will be of great interest to scholars of
environmental politics, environmental governance and EU policy. The
chapters were originally published as a special issue of
Environmental Politics.

Politics in the European Union is an accessible and comprehensive
introduction to the EU. Unique in its in-depth coverage of the
history of the EU, the book explores a wide range of topics
including institutions and policies, making it a complete guide to
understanding the complex nature of the EU. Now in its fifth
edition, the text has been fully updated to include coverage of
Brexit, the refugee crisis, and political developments within
member states. The text is enriched with a wide range of learning
features, including end of chapter questions, which are designed to
stimulate critical thinking, suggested further reading, EU
timelines, and illustrative figures to help students take their
learning further.
The European Union (EU) has sought to establish itself as a global
environmental leader but was hit by the combined effects of the
economic and financial crisis from 2007-8 leading some to question
whether the EU could continue to adopt ambitious environmental
policy. This volume brings together leading environmental policy
scholars to analyse the impacts of the crisis upon environmental
policy in the EU and its member states. Authors analyse whether
environmental policy has been dismantled, expanded or stayed the
same. If policy has been dismantled, the kind of strategy adopted
is analysed (active, symbolic, arena-shifting, or dismantling by
default), and at what levels change has occurred. The Index of
Policy Activity (IPA) is applied systematically across the cases,
which combine quantitative with qualitative analysis. Non-European
cases are also included to provide a counterpoint for comparison.
The book finds that whilst the EU has not actively dismantled
environmental policy, its economic policies have had negative
effects upon some Member States, prompting policy dismantling.
Climate and energy policies have seen some policy expansion but
there are examples, most notably the UK, where there has also been
active policy dismantling. The main trend is one of stasis -
environmental policy in Europe is judged to have plateaued calling
into question Europe's much-vaunted environmental leadership. The
book contributes to scholarship on environmental policy and public
administration, combining empirical and methodological insights to
give an up to date perspective on the impact of crisis upon
European environmental policy.
