UACES Spotlight on: Ideas and European Education Policy, 1973-2020
For the first event of the UACES Spotlight on series, we invited Dr Marina Cino Pagliarello (King’s College London) to launch her book 'Ideas and European Education Policy, 1973-2020: Constructing the Europe of Knowledge?' with discussant Prof Michelle Cini (University of Bristol). The event was chaired by Prof Simon Usherwood (Open University).
Spotlight on: The Evaluation of Polycentric Climate Governance
A book launch where author Dr Jonas J. Schoenefeld presented his new book The Evaluation of Polycentric Climate Governance in discussion with Dr Viviane Gravey (Queen's University Belfast) and Dr Paul Tobin (University of Manchester).
Polycentric climate governance holds enormous promise, but to unleash its full force, policy evaluation needs a stronger role in it. This book develops Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom's important work by offering fresh perspectives from cutting-edge thinking on climate governance and policy evaluation. Driven by theoretical innovation and empirical exploration, this book not only argues for a stronger connection between polycentric climate governance and practices of evaluation, but also demonstrates the key value of doing so with a real-world, empirical test in the polycentric setting of the European Union. This book offers a crucial step to take climate governance to the next level. It will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in climate governance, as well as practitioners who seek to enhance climate action, which is needed to avoid a climate catastrophe and to identify a pathway towards the 1.5° Celsius target in the Paris Agreement.

This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of EU sustainability policies, sustainability transitions and green economy, environmental studies, energy policy, energy governance and climate change, public policy, comparative politics and international relations.
