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.
