WP 5 explores how global trends, such as changing economic and political power patterns and the economic crisis in the West.

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».
