Energy Policy Making in the EU
Springer London Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-4471-6644-3 (ISBN)
When are energy issues likely to find their way to the agenda of European policymakers? This is the key research question guiding this collection of empirical studies, which will shed light on both successful and unsuccessful attempts to include energy issues in the European agenda. The multi-level political system of the European Union represents a particularly fruitful setting for addressing this question due to the multiple institutional access points it provides for different groups of actors. The book has three key benefits. First, it provides a theory-informed analysis of agenda setting processes in general and in the European Union in particular. Second, it presents an overview of the most important and emerging dimensions on European energy policy, and third, it helps to develop a research agenda for future research in the field.
All three editors have broad experience in executing empirical analyses in political science, with a strong emphasis on comparative research in environmental policy, energy policy, social policy and consumer protection policy. The editors have been involved in international research networks. Two possess teaching experience at universities in Germany as well as in Canada, Estonia, Italy and Turkey.
