Abstract

Since the 1970s the European Union has made enormous strides in the global environmental arena and developed a considerable global standing. This article assesses the nature and scope of this new international leadership. It examines the EU institutional context and historical opportunities. The article presents an analytical overview that helps explain the dimensions of the EU role, as well as the conflicts within these roles. The article asks the following research question: how have the institutional and ideational complexities of the European policy-making structure defined both the scope and the impact of EU policy efforts? It offers some analytical propositions about how the EU shapes the global arena.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
