How a Tiny State can Influence European Energy Politics
from Diplomacy and International Relations by Bastian Friborg · host Bastian Friborg
Denmark is small, but in EU climate policy it’s a heavyweight. In this episode of “Diplomacy and International Relations,” we unpack how the 2012 Danish EU Presidency used a smart toolbox of coalitions, technical expertise and non‑state actors to shape the Energy Efficiency Directive—and how today’s ambitious climate goals and public‑private partnerships make Denmark a green front‑runner setting standards far beyond its borders.https://www.patreon.com/cw/iqulture/
