    European integration and the environment : how green is the EU ?
    in Politique européenne , n. 33, 1, 2011 ,  2011 ,  Berny Nathalie
    The environmental policy of the European Union (EU) is a key domain for the analysis of European integration processes. However, existing studies on the subject, notably those concerned with Europeanization, have stressed differential impacts. Not only has European environmental policy varied in its impacts across member states, but its level of integration differs from one environmental issue to another. This special edition re-examines the scope of the EU environmental policy. It focuses on three themes crucial to debates on the greening of the EU and on the significance of policy developments, namely actor strategies, institutional factors, and the structuring of environmental issues. The articles presented here address the three themes by focusing on the French national case and offer perspectives which are innovative on both conceptual and methodological grounds. Each develops an original analysis, drawing mainly on public policy studies and/or sociological approaches. Thus the special edition as a whole offers alternative research strategies for the study of environmental policy in the EU.
