| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focused on why the EU's leadership in climate action has been possible in both international and domestic/internal levels. To answer this question, this research took a look at the political process of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Sharing the view of existing literature which recognizes the roles of the European Commission or environmental NGOs as relevant to make the EU ETS ambitious, this research attempted to supplement it by spotlighting the industry side, which would be a potential veto for ambitious regulations. This research found that the difference, or cleavages, between potentially opposing industries, that is, between electricity and other energy intensive industries (chemical, steel, et al.) worked as relevant role. Because the European electricity industry became supportive of the ambitious design of the EU ETS, affected industries could not achieve unitary opposition, which opened up the path for an ambitious regulation to be in place.
