Publisher's Synopsis
This book combines two features which are rarely linked in the literature in this field. It is a) a study on policy-making ? in a major field, namely climate change ? and of a major player, namely the EU and b) a contribution to social theory. It adopts a new approach by treating policy-making in terms of learning, a look which sheds light on interrelationships neglected by standard interest-oriented approaches. In addition, it is the only comprehensive monograph on the development of EU climate change policy.
