Summary: The European Union (EU) has emerged as a leading governing body in the international struggle to govern climate change. The transformation that has occurred in its policies and institutions has profoundly affected climate change politics at the international level and within its 27 Member States. But how has this been achieved when the EU comprises so many levels of governance, when political leadership in Europe is so dispersed and the policy choices are especially difficult? Drawing on a variety of detailed case studies spanning the interlinked challenges of mitigation and adaptation, this volume offers an unrivalled account of how different actors wrestled with the complex governance dilemmas associated with climate policy making. Opening up the EU's inner workings to non-specialists, it provides an unparalleled perspective on the unique way that the EU governs, as well as exploring its ability to maintain a leading position in international climate change politics. Advance praise: 'Surveying the role of the European Union in relation to climate change policy is no easy task . How successful or otherwise the EU might be in this endeavour has a resonance across the world. This book provides an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to assess the possibilities and the pitfalls.' -- Lord Anthony Giddens, London School of Economics and Political Science, from the Foreword 'The book will be of great interest not only to those interested in the future of the climate regime but also to those concerned with the future of the European Union more generally.' -- Oran R. Young, Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California, Santa Barbara 'This book is a must read for students and practitioners wishing to understand EU climate policy.' -- Miranda Schreurs, Director, Environmental Policy Research Centre, Freie Universitat Berlin 'This timely and thought-provoking volume identifies cogently the policy challenges facing Europeans as regards climate change. As the authors carefully demonstrate, both well-focused policies and effectively implemented measures are needed if the European Union and its member states are together to make a difference.' -- Helen Wallace, Centennial Professor, European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science Editors: Andrew Jordan, Dave Huitema, Harro van Asselt, Tim Rayner, and Frans Berkhout Contributors: Andrew Jordan, Dave Huitema, Harro van Asselt, Tim Rayner, Constanze Haug, Roger Hildingsson, Johannes Stripple, Eric Massey, Frans Berkhout More information is available at: http://www.cambridge.org/uk/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521196123 Apologies for cross-postings ____________________________________________ Harro van Asselt Department of Environmental Policy Analysis Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam De Boelelaan 1085 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands Tel: +31-20-5989575 Fax: +31-205989553 E-mail: harro.van.ass...@ivm.vu.nl ____________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to climate-l as: williamcgbu...@comcast.net Go to your membership <https://lists.iisd.ca/read/?forum=climate-l> options.
