欧盟环境政策中的软性治理:法律推动一体化的退潮?

Soft Governance in the EU's Environment Policy:Retreat of "Integration through Law"?

由于环境问题具有交叉性和复杂性的特点,治理理论因模糊了权力向外转移的主权国家政府在政策网络中的地位和作用而更适合于分析欧盟的环境政策。本文探讨了欧盟环境治理的实践,在总结欧盟环境治理的特点,并将其与在应对气候变化治理中出现的治理模式转变进行对比分析的基础上,对软性治理方式出现的原因和意义进行了思考;提出软性治理是"法律推动一体化"的一种补充,它构成了欧盟善治的一个组成部分,并代表了欧盟善治发展的新路径。

Given the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the environmental issues,the governance theory,due to its blurring of the roles and positions of the sovereign states in the policy network,is generally more suitable to analyze the EU's environment policy.This paper first discusses the EU's environmental governance and then,it analyzes the causes and significance of soft governance after summarizing and making a comparison between the characteristics of EU environmental governance and those of the transformed governance models emerged when handling climate change.The author argues that soft governance is a complement to 'integration through law',which consists of a part of and is a new approach to EU good governance.
