Summary
This chapter provides an introduction to the collection of eight cases studies presented in this edited volume, all of which are concerned with the processes of ‘greening’ of the European economy, analysed through the lens of governance or multi-level governance. In doing so, the main aims of this chapter are to briefly outline the following: the notion of a ‘green’ economy; the academic origins of the book and the rationale for the volume and the choice of case studies; the chosen conceptual framework and the research questions; and, finally, the structure of the book. However, before turning specifically to the idea of a ‘green economy’, the chapter first sets the scene by examining the real world context that has triggered and surrounds the debate.
