The EU's policy on the environment and sustainable development is an extremely interesting and "captivating" policy. In terms of politics and governance, the EU's necessities and choices call for the search for feasible, but advanced solutions and ways that concern the organization of efforts to address environmental issues, as well as the transition to sustainable development and the transformation of the economy and society in Europe and the world, but also for the construction of a system capable of providing a favorable framework and mediating towards this direction. The internal and external dimensions of politics and governance shape a complex system, interact and complement each other, pursuing goals at different levels. Grand design, visionary initiatives, elements of politics and governance are combined in politics in an amazing way, producing outflows and creating impacts.

The book aims to provide an overview of politics and highlight significant issues and aspects that, in the author's estimation, constitute central fields of scientific engagement with it, creating a framework for understanding them, with an eye towards the future.
