Research Project
GR:EEN will study the current and future role of the EU in an emerging multi-polar world through a programme of stock-taking, multi-disciplinary research and complementary activities.

WP 5 explores how global trends, such as changing economic and political power patterns and the economic crisis in the West. It also analyses different internal characteristics of EU members impact on EU energy and environmental governance, and how the EU seeks to meet these challenges through more innovation and integration, also by using transnational policy networks to enhance cooperation.

Research is organised into three sub-packages:

  1. «Internal characteristics of European countries and effects on EU energy and environmental governance»,
  2. «Global trends and their effects on EU energy and environmental governance», 
  3. «Innovation, integration, and competition in and through policy networks».

Research and activities are undertaken by a consortium of 16 researchers based in research institutions and universities in Australia, Britain, China, Hungary, Italy, Norway and Spain with a strong track-record of collaboration on these issues).
