European Union Foreign Policy and the Global Climate Regime - Simon Schunz - Peter Lang - broché - Essai

Ever since the first international negotiations on climate change in the early 1990s, the European Union has aspired to play a leading role in global climate politics. This book engages in a longitudinal analysis of the EU’s participation in and impact on the United Nations climate regime. It provides not only comprehensive insights into the evolution of EU foreign climate policy, but also a thought-provoking audit of the potential and limits of the EU’s influence in a major domain of global affairs. Simon Schunz holds a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), where he worked as a junior and senior researcher and continues to lecture. He also holds degrees from the College of Europe and the Free University of Berlin.
