Abstract

EU scholars on the whole have tended to use the concept of governance to move the theoretical focus on EU integration beyond the role of states. This paper claims to synthesize these analytical concerns, in order to place EU steering in the larger international context of governance. It asks how the member state governments, the Commission, and other key actors are trying to shape environmental regulation in the face of new governance challenges posed by an increasingly complex international arena. In order to explore the ideas about environmental governance and influence, we examine two policy areas that the EU and other organizations have invested considerable regulatory effort: the risk management of chemical substances and the control of the hazardous waste trade.
