Opis

This collection brings together leading environmental policy scholars to analyse whether the economic crisis has affected EU environmental policy ambition in Europe.

Recenzje

the book is of interest to anyone wanting to understand the role of austerity measures for policies in general, and environmental policies in particular....The theoretical framework is one of the strengths of the book because the empirical chapters show the methodical plurality of the theory...Burns, Tobin, and Sewerin (2019) develop the Index of Policy Activity theoretical and methodology, which is applicable to other policy areas. Thus, the book is also of interest to scholars outside the field of environmental policy.
