Viviane’s Paper aims to ascertain whether the environmental ambition of the EU is being reduced and, if that is the case, which forces are driving this change.
Her focus is on 'policy dismantling', a process that has so far been widely analysed, but mainly at domestic level and often only in relation to redistributive policies.
She puts forward an analytical framework, adapted from Bauer & Knill’s model for the analysis of domestic dismantling, and applies it to the analysis of dismantling at EU level by taking into account its consensual, multi-level and also contested nature.
This adapted framework is subsequently applied to three cases studies of environmental policy-dismantling in the EU, allowing the author to see clearly which actors have been using which strategies – and what effects this has produced.
Viviane also shows how efforts of policy dismantling in the EU are interconnected with the broader debate on the future forms and degree of European integration.
Viviane’s Paper offers an excellent example of careful theoretical reasoning, combined with solid empirical research and intelligent model-building.
