EU Leadership in Energy and Environmental Governance

Part of the book series: International Political Economy Series ((IPES))

Abstract

The present volume is a result of the collaborative efforts of an international group of scholars working on the EU-funded GR:EEN project 2011–2015.1 Although the shortened name of the project might suggest that the main topic is the ‘green revolution’ in energy, the full name — Global Re-ordering: Evolution through European Networks (GR:EEN) — reveals the actual focus. The GR:EEN project has dealt with the role of the EU in the emerging global order, in particular how the new distribution of power in world politics influences EU positions and policies in various fields. The contributors to this volume have worked on a challenging task: to map and explore how this new distribution of power has influenced EU energy and climate policy and the EU’s ability to project its approach to energy- and climate-related issues on the global arena.
