[course] – Spring 2012: EU Environmental Policy – Coming of Age

Written by

EU Environment Policy: Coming of Age
Anne Burrill
EURO 490K, Spring 2012
Tuesdays & Thursdays 11:30am-1:20pm
107 Smith Hall, UW Seattle

EU Environment policy is widely supported by the EU citizen and the business community alike, and the vast majority of national laws in the field of environment in the EU have their origin in EU legislation. This course will examine the evolution of EU Environment policy, from its origins as ‘end-of-pipe’ regulation, through a focus on prevention, towards a mainstreaming of environmental considerations into all aspects of EU policy. We will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the various sectors of EU environment policy, consider what makes a successful environment policy and examine how well EU environment policy address the needs of an expanded EU in a globalized world. Each class will include a discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of the EU approach to specific aspects of environment policy. The course is interdisciplinary, with a focus on how well the EU’s environment policy has projected itself into other EU policies.

Anne Burrill is a Visiting EU Fellow in the Jackson School’s European Union Center of Excellence, for the academic year 2011-2012. She comes to us from the European Commission’s Environment Directorate General, where she is Deputy Head of Unit for International Relations and Enlargement. Her work particularly concerns environmental relations with those neighbours of the EU which aim eventually to become EU Member States, or which have taken on commitments to progressively converge their national policies with EU standards and norms in the context of the EU Neighbourhood Policy.
