"Over the course of the last two decades, the Manual has established itself as THE definitive guide to EU environmental policy amongst policy makers, lobbyists and academics. Whether you are aiming to strengthen EU action in this area or weaken it, ignore the Manual at your peril!" - Andrew Jordan, Professor of Environmental Politics at the University of East Anglia
