Elin Lerum Boasson, Jørgen Wettestad

’In this timely contribution, Boasson and Wettestad explain the development of four key policy pillars of the EU’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: carbon emissions trading, the promotion of renewable energy, carbon capture and storage, and energy efficiency in buildings. The book is theoretically and empirically of the highest quality.’ Miranda A. Schreurs, Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany ’This book significantly advances our knowledge about EU climate policy not least by shedding light on the role of industry, policy interaction and external factors in policy development as well as through rich case studies, including on the central but understudied aspects of energy efficiency in buildings and renewable energy promotion. There can be no doubt that the book will take an important place in any collection on EU climate policy.’ Sebastian Oberthür, Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Belgium ’What the EU does and does not do in relation to climate change matters hugely to those who live within and well outside Europe. By drawing together a mass of fresh empirical evidence and carefully relating it to well-known policy theories, this book manages to derive some genuinely fresh and insightful explanations as to why the EU acts in the rather puzzling way it does. In what is now an increasingly crowded field of research, it stands out for its depth and quality of scholarship.’ Andrew Jordan, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, UK 'There is no shortage of literature on EU climate policies, an area of European studies which has flourished recently. Several edited volumes already offer comprehensive overviews of this policy domain. Yet Elin Lerum Boasson and Jørgen Wettestad’s monograph stands out as the first theoretically driven, comparative analysis of the factors that drive the development of EU internal climate policies... the richness of the empirical material and well-structured framework of EU Climate Policy make it a must-read for
