EU Environmental Policy: Its journey to centre stage – Nigel Haigh - December, 2015

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, former IEEP Director and current Senior Fellow, Nigel Haigh, traces the evolution of the EU’s environmental policy from obscurity to centrality and shows how a number of factors have put environmental policy at the forefront of EU policy. The book also contextualises the issues throughout its history and offers insight into the future role of the EU in environmental matters.
