Europe and Global Climate Change by Paul G. Harris Pdf

This book is likely to become the definitive study on European global climate change politics. Its focus on the formulation, ratification, and implementation of the Kyoto Protocol within Europe make it essential reading for all who wish to understand how domestic foreign policy influenced the European Union s decision to ratify the Kyoto Protocol despite the United States decision to abandon the agreement. The book provides important historical background, case studies of the most influential European countries to shape the Kyoto Protocol, and an assessment of what enlargement means for the implementation of the agreement. It also examines how Europe s policies have shaped and been shaped by participation in the Kyoto negotiation and implementation processes. It will be an important item for the libraries of any institution or scholar with an interest in the role of Europe in addressing climate change. Miranda Schreurs, University of Maryland, US The core objective of this book is to better understand the role of foreign policy the crossovers and interactions between domestic and international politics and policies in efforts to preserve the environment and natural resources. Underlying this objective is the belief that it is not enough to analyze domestic or international political actors, institutions and processes by themselves. We need to understand the interactions among them, something that explicit thought about foreign policy can help us do. The eclectic group of contributors explore European and EU responses to global climate change, and provide insights into issues on environmental protection, sustainable development, international affairs and foreign policy.

Europe: by Elias A. Thygesen Pdf

"Europe: Environmental, Political and Social Issues begins with a comprehensive study of European-level policies and legislation at the national level that transpose or complement European Union legislation in order to gain a broader perspective on the multiple regulations of European countries concerning the renewable energy community. Next, the authors review the chromosomal and molecular diversity of the viviparous lizard, Zootoca vivipara (Lichtenstein, 1823), the world's widest-ranging terrestrial reptile, occurring from the Cantabrian mountains and Ireland in the west through the entire Eurasian landmass to Sakhalin and Hokkaido Islands in the east. This compilation also assesses the importance of party political preferences on policies regarding irregular migrants' access to housing in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, looking beyond political discourse and focusing on policy implementation through governmental decisions. The authors explore post-communist central Europe, with attention also to Germany and Austria, which plays a significant part in the environment of the region. Some processes of economic, political and social reconstruction and development are outlined. In closing, literary representations of Central Europe and its image in the works of Milan Kundera, Ingeborg Bachmann and others are addressed. At the same time, emphasis is placed on problems of territoriality, "the feeling of border," the specific nature of Central European multicultural society and the processes of cultural interaction"--

Greening Europe by Anna-Katharina Wöbse,Patrick Kupper Pdf

Today, the environment seems omnipresent in European policy within and beyond the European Union. The idea of a shared European environment, however, has come a long way and is still being contested. Greening Europe focuses on the many ways people have interacted with nature and made it an issue of European concern. The authors ask how notions of Europe mattered in these activities and they expose the many entanglements of activists across the subcontinent who set out to connect and network, and to exchange knowledge, worldviews, and strategies that exceeded their national horizons. Moving beyond human agency, the handbook also highlights the eminent role nature played in both "greening" Europe and making Europe a shared environment.

Implementing EU Environmental Policy by Christoph Knill,Andrea Lenschow Pdf

This book examines issues of censorship, publicity and teenage fandom in 1950s Britain surrounding a series of controversial Hollywood films: The Wild One, Blackboard Jungle, Rebel Without a Cause, Rock Around the Clock and Jailhouse Rock. It also explores British cinema's commentary on juvenile delinquency through a re-examination of such British films as The Blue Lamp, Spare the Rod and Serious Charge. Taking a multi-dimensional approach, the book intersects with star studies and social history while reappraising the stardom of Marlon Brando, James Dean and Elvis Presley. By looking at the specific meanings, pleasures and uses British fans derived from these films, it provides a logical and sustained narrative for how Hollywood star images fed into and disrupted British cultural life during a period of unprecedented teenage consumerism.

Europeanization of Environmental Policy in the New Europe by Mats Braun Pdf

Prior to the European Union (EU) 2004/2007 enlargement there were several predictions that this event would hamper progressive decision-making within the EU on environmental policy. It was believed that the new member states had adopted EU rules as a consequence of the EU's conditionality and consequently they would rather slow down the reform speed in the field after accession. In this book, Mats Braun offers an up-to-date account of how post-communist member states have handled policy initiatives in the field of environmental policy after accession. Using detailed case studies of how Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania dealt with two different EU policy initiatives - REACH and the Climate-Energy Package - he explores whether social norms and the process of socialization can help us understand why the track record of new member states in the area of environmental policy is more varied than was originally envisaged prior to enlargement.

The EU as a Global Regulator for Environmental Protection by Ioanna Hadjiyianni Pdf

This book critically examines the extension of EU environmental legislation beyond EU borders through measures that determine access to the single market on the basis of processes that take place in third countries. It makes a timely contribution to political debates about the relations between EU and non-EU countries, and the Union's role in the global governance of environmental policy, where it has been considered a global leader. The book aims to identify and explain the emerging legal phenomenon of internal environmental measures with extraterritorial implications as an important manifestation of EU global regulatory power, and assesses the extraterritorial reach of EU environmental law from a legitimacy perspective. It examines mechanisms that can bolster its legitimacy, focusing on the legal orders of the EU and the World Trade Organization, which are key legal fora for controlling the EU's global regulatory power.
