Extract

The rapid development of European environmental policy and Europe's embrace of the environment as an important foreign policy area make this a timely and important book. The European Union represents a unique political experiment in shared, multilevel governance among nation-states. This volume presents one of the most comprehensive analyses to date of both international and comparative dimensions of European environmental governance. It also attempts to make an important theoretical contribution by calling for greater theoretical linking between international and comparative approaches to the study of the European Union.
