Europeanization of Environmental Policy in the New Europe

Focusing on post-communist member states, the book examines their environmental policy responses after joining the EU, specifically through case studies of Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, and Romania. It analyzes their approaches to the REACH and Climate-Energy Package initiatives, investigating the influence of social norms and socialization processes on their varied performances in environmental policy. The author aims to provide insights into the complexities faced by these nations, challenging initial expectations regarding their environmental governance post-enlargement.
