EU Enlargement and the Environment: Institutional Change and Environmental Policy in Central and Eastern Europe, JoAnn Carmin and Stacy VanDeveer, Editors

This volume focuses attention on key environmental and institutional changes associated with eastern expansion of the European Union, assessing and challenging prevailing views about the outcomes and processes of this historic development. Looking at four central themes -- capacity changes and limitations, the EU’s mixed messages and conflicting priorities, non-state actor roles and developments, and the exchange of ideas and information – the volume shows that enlargement will change the EU, not just make it bigger, and that EU officials and programs are improving aspects of environmental policy in CEE countries even as they are making others less sustainable. Published by Routledge, 2005.

 

Povodne jako prurezový problém státní politiky (Flood Protection as a Cross-Sector Problem of Government Policy), Lenka Camrova and Jirina Jilkova

It also summarizes the main issues raised at a series of roundtable discussions held among diverse stakeholder groups regarding flood protection and coordination and presents the results of a survey of municipal response to the floods. The report is in Czech with an English introduction.
