Explores the importance of policy evaluation in polycentric climate governance using the European Union as an example.

Recenzje

'Evaluating public policies is analytically demanding, which is the reason why the most compelling studies concentrate on one or a few cases. Jonas Schoenefeld demonstrates with this well designed and executed study that rigorous and yet comprehensive evaluation is possible. He also contributes to the growing body of research on polycentric climate governance by making the case that it is necessary to identify its concrete empirical implications and to subject them to an analysis of how they deliver on their theoretically derived promise in the real world.'
