• This book offers a deep insight into the genesis and development of the European Commission's energy and climate legislation, focusing on the interplay of politics and science. How does the Commission react when confronted with knowledge? According to the author, the Commission functions as catalyst transforming knowledge into politics. -- This book is the first analysis of the development of the emission trading scheme and the 2008 energy and climate package by the European Commission. The author offers a deep insight into the genesis of the Commission's proposal for the emission trading scheme, its revision and the new proposal for a renewable energy directive. He traces the development of the world's first comprehensive energy and climate legislation within the Commission services and the negotiations between commissioners and their cabinets. Focusing on the role of politics and science within the Commission this study tackles the following questions: what are the Commission strategies in using knowledge? Does the Commission actually learn or does it simply engage in power plays when confronted with knowledge? According to the author, the Commission is built on a paradox and functions as catalyst transforming knowledge into politics. 
• "The EU energy and climate package of 2008 is a milestone in climate and energy policy that has firmly established Europe's leadership in this critical field. As we discuss our new policy framework beyond 2020, this book is a very timely contribution for practitioners and scholars alike. It captures well how the European Commission reconciled the necessary with the politically achievable when proposing the 2008 package." - J.M. Barroso, President of the European Commission "A meticulous study of the world's first attempt to set up a large-scale carbon trading system to reduce CO2 emissions. It will be of interest not only to students of the politics of climate change and the governance of the EU, but to those initiating or contemplating parallel programmes in other parts of the world today"- Anthony Giddens, author of The Politics of Climate Change.
