Reviews

'Renewable Energy Policy is a well-established, high-ranking policy in Europe but its perspectives, strengths and weaknesses need competent analysis. This book is a highly valuable standard publication not only for energy and climate policy experts but also for and social scientists.' -- Martin Janicke, Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany 'The word 'guide' in the title of this book is an understatement. With its focus on renewable energy policies in a wide range of EU member states, this books fills an important gap in the literature. The rigorous structure of the chapters, all of them written by key experts in the field, and the incisive analysis of national policies and processes of Europeanization in the concluding chapter make it a major achievement of comparative research. A must-read for everyone interested in energy and climate change politics!' -- Duncan Liefferink, Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands
