Product Description
This book is the culmination of four years' research by the authors on European Union governance and agri-environment policy making. It is a timely contribution to the debate on Europe; it exposes the myriad processes underlying the European integration project, and demonstrates the implications for European rural economies of the emerging system of supranational governance. A range of contemporary theoretical approaches from political science writing is employed to respond to the complexities of the EU decision-making process, in the context of agri-environmental policy. The book fills an important gap in political-geographical studies of the EU.

Review
... this is an excellent book that will provide an important baseline for future studies of policy implementation theory, EU, AEP, and policy network analysis. (Environment and Planning )
Jones and Clark provide a refreshing and very stimulating analysis of what they term 'multilevel governance' operating in policymaking networks of the European Union. (Environment and Planning )
In their insightful account of the European Union, Alun Jones and Julian Clark have provided exceptionally rich and innovative exploration of the complex institutional politics surrounding EU agri-environmental policy and the struggles over the CAP ... they have written a book that speaks directly to contemporary debates in geography, sociology, economics, politics, and public policy. (Professor Michael Watts, Director of the Institute of International Studies, University of California at Berkeley )
