Description

Introduces a mixed model of coalitional bargaining and agenda setting (in the EP) to explain legislative decision making in the face of preference heterogeneity after the eastern enlargement. Abstract

Analyses how the mobilisation of government officials and related experts helps to advance leader states’ interests in EU policy-making, applying this to the Dutch government’s involvement in EU chemical policy. Abstract

Uses an agenda-setting approach to understand the creation of EU environmental policy during the 1970s. 

 


This book develops a theoretical and methodological framework for studying agenda-setting processes in the European Union, and applies it in the fields of health and environmental policy.

Textbook introduction to agenda-setting in EU environmental policy, focusing on seven key characteristics of EU environmental agenda-setting.


Argues that the agenda-setting privileges of  policy-makers, the dynamics of issue linkages, and legislative rules and procedures may account for the differences between EU and US climate change policies. Abstract

Argues that target groups’ capacity to influence the spectrum of politically feasible policy options tends to be higher when target groups control resources needed by decisionmakers that are agenda-setters and/or veto players in the decision-making process. Abstract

Examines the extent to which issue salience influences the timeliness of transposing EU environmental directives in national legislation. Abstract
