Environmental Integration in the EU's External Relations: Beyond Multilateral Dimensions
 |
| Vai alla copia |
This book examines the little-explored
unilateral, bilateral, and inter-regional dimensions of EU external
environmental policy, in light of the Treaty-based requirement of environmental
integration, both at the formulation and at the implementation stages. The book
thus explores the interplay between these dimensions of the EU's external
environmental activities and international environmental law from a dual
perspective. On the one hand, it identifies the legal and other instruments used
by the EU to support the implementation of multilateral environmental agreements
in third countries (particularly, developing countries). And, on the other hand,
it singles out the legal tools employed by the EU to build partnerships with
third countries as part of the process of influencing multilateral negotiations
on the environment and sustainable development. Ultimately, the book traces the
evolution of, and the complex interaction between, the multiple legal tools
deployed by the EU to integrate environmental concerns in its external
relations, with a view to identifying emerging challenges and future directions.
