One of the first book-length works that critically examines the discourses and implementation of the European Union Green Deal (EGD) in Southeast Asia, this volume charts the complex mix of controversies, ambiguities, and opportunities that EGD policies present for Southeast Asian countries. Tasked with making the European Union (EU) climate-neutral by 2050 through green transformation, the EGD has generated controversy through a lack of clarity over implementation details and caused considerable uncertainty for countries concerned about its economic and social impact. Controversies stem from its unilateral nature, rooted in power imbalances between the EU and Southeast Asia, which give rise to perceptions of inequity and create political and economic strains. Drawing on different theoretical approaches and detailed empirical analyses of key aspects of the EGD, the chapters present critical contributions from a diverse group of established and emerging Southeast Asian and European scholars investigating the tension and complexity of EGD policy implementation and discourse.Demonstrating how foreign policy implementation can lead not only to contestation but also to convergence and collaboration, this book will be of interest to researchers, postgraduates, and scholars in the fields of environmental policy, EU policy, and Southeast Asian politics and policy.
