Project description

We want to characterize and explain the EU’s stance in the trade-climate nexus from a political science perspective. The reasons for (not) taking certain decisions about trade measures to fight climate change will be studied, through analysing and comparing six cases. We will collect data mainly via interviews and primary sources, and use process tracing as our research method.
