Almost all aspects of modern politics have been deeply Europeanized, yet we know surprisingly little about how the EU affects the inner workings of national government. This book conceptualizes the profound Europeanization of British environmental government and policy both as a lagged response to European integration and as an important determinant of Britain's contribution to that process. By combining political theories of the EU with new empirical research, Andrew Jordan offers a genuinely fresh perspective on the evolution of modern European governance.

ANDREW JORDAN is Lecturer in Environmental Politics at the University of East Anglia and a Senior Research Fellow in the UK ESRC's Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment (CSERGE). He edits the journal Environment and Planning C (Government and Policy) and has published extensively on British and EU environmental policy.
