EU Environmental Policy: Its journey to centre stage
Nigel Haigh, Institute for European Environmental Policy
Having been created for reasons quite unconnected with the environment, the EU has been given a compelling new justification by the success of its environment policy. A leading authority on the development and implementation of EU environmental policy, Nigel Haigh, traces the evolution of the EU's environmental policy from obscurity to centrality and shows how a number of factors – including a number of environmental threats that came to prominence in the 1980s, and the new concept of sustainable development – has put environmental policy at the forefront of EU policy. Illuminating the EU’s achievements and challenges in the area of environmental policy, the book also contextualises the issues throughout its history and offers insight into the future role of the EU in environmental matters.
