The characteristics of small states generate multiple and
contradictory expectations concerning their climate policies and
politics. Do small states perceive themselves as market- and
rule-takers, which are largely irrelevant to a global problem, and
which must prioritise international competitiveness above climate
policy goals? Or do their institutions and their small size foster
consensus, coordination, and nimble responses to a changing
international scene, allowing them to attain competitive advantages
and become climate leaders? Climate Politics in Small European
States examines how the characteristics of small states structure
climate politics and both enable and constrain ambitious climate
policies. This volume contributes to our knowledge of how
institutions, including electoral institutions and institutions of
interest intermediation, actors such as parties, interest groups,
individuals, governments, and ideas shape climate policy and
politics. The volume also contributes to redressing a deficit in
the attention given to smaller states in the study of comparative
climate politics. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of Environmental Politics.

Pioneers, Leaders and Followers in Multilevel and Polycentric
Climate Governance focuses on pioneers, leaders and followers as
central drivers for international climate change governance
innovations. A burgeoning literature has identified pioneers and
leaders as central drivers for international climate change
governance innovations. A wide range of actors (such as
international organisations, the European Union, NGOs, corporations
and cities) have been identified as potential and actual climate
pioneers and/or leaders. Despite this, much of the academic debate
is still largely focused on states. To address this research gap,
this volume focuses primarily on non-state actors in different
multilevel and polycentric governance structures. The chapters
offer a critical analysis of the different types of actors (e.g.
the EU, corporate actors, NGOs and cities) who can act as pioneers
and/or leaders at different levels of climate governance (including
the international, supranational, regional, national and local)
encompassing non-state and state actors. The volume provides a
clear conceptualisation of pioneers, leaders and followers while
assessing their motives, capacities, styles and strategies. It
examines critically the dynamic interrelationship between leaders
and pioneers on the one hand, and followers and laggards on the
other. Moreover, it analyses how multilevel and polycentric climate
governance structures enable and/or constrain climate pioneers,
leaders and followers. This volume will be of great use to scholars
of environmental governance, climate change, and international
governance. The chapters were originally published as a special
issue in Environmental Politics.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of Ireland's response
to the climate crisis. The contributions, written by leading
scholars across a range of disciplines in the social sciences,
humanities and beyond, shed light on diverse aspects of the climate
crisis, the factors shaping Ireland's response, and prospects for
the future. Long regarded as a 'climate laggard', Ireland's
response to the urgent societal challenge of climate change has
seen new momentum in recent times. The volume will serve as a key
reference point for academics, students, policymakers, and a wide
range of stakeholders. It will be of interest to readers within
Ireland, as well as further afield, who wish to gain a deeper
understanding of the constraints on, and opportunities for,
successful climate action in Ireland.

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.
