Sustainable Energy Development: A Comparative Policy Analysis of the EU Member States
Over dit e-boek
This book presents an overview of the EU norms, legislation, and policy standards for renewable energies and analyses how member states transpose them into their domestic structure. The book also analyses the policy outcomes in the EU member states in a comparative perspective by using the most recent statistical data. This comparative analysis gives insight to investors and developers to decide on investment projects and/or manufacturing of renewable energy devices to these countries. It also provides a useful reference for policy makers, academics, students, and NGOs who need a quick overview of relevant national and EU legislation, policy standards, and policy outcomes.
Over de auteur
Dr. Gamze Tanil is a researcher and lecturer in Politics and International Relations with a specialization in European Politics and Environmental Politics. She acquired Masters in European Studies in 2003 and Doctorate in International Relations in 2010. She has worked as a guest researcher and lecturer at several universities in United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, and Czech Republic and taught various courses and seminars on European history and politics. Her current research agenda revolves around sustainability, environment, and energy policies. She published a book on sustainable water and waste management policies in Europe to improve our understanding of the patterns and dynamics of structural change in response to current levels of urbanization and industrialization. This book also analysed the European, national, and regional actors’ capacity to adapt to change and to create alternative structures for a clean and sustainable future for all. The second book in sustainability research comes out with an analysis of energy transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the energy transition process with a dedicated focus on the coordination of policies, regulations, strategies, and social learning to overcome barriers to change and foster sufficient impetus towards structural transition. This broad framework integrates different phases, levels, and dimensions to provide overarching frames for understanding the political, legal, and societal contexts of sustainable transitions.
