Environmental policy integration and energy : conceptual clarification and comparative analysis of standards and mechanisms

The principal theme of the present doctoral dissertation is to provide new insights into ‘environmental policy integration’ as a normative and practical steering instrument in the promotion of sustainable development. The empirical focus of the dissertation research is on energy policy as a means for affecting climate-change.
