Klappentext Over the last thirty years! the European Union has created a system of environmental governance in Europe. This work seeks to understand this new system of environmental governance both at the European level and at the level of member states. It argues that the system is multi-level! horizontally complex! evolving! and incomplete! and goes on to examine the extent of convergence and divergence in environmental policy among six member states: Germany! Spain! Greece! Italy! the Netherlands! and the UK. Zusammenfassung From acid rain to clean drinking water, from clean beaches to packaging waste, the operation of the environmental rules in the European Union affects all our lives. This book examines how rules for environmental protection are made in Europe. It identifies the forces that shape how rules are made and why they take the form they do.
