14 2. Cities, Europeanization, and multilevel governance Europeanization Cities establish own offices in Brussels Cities cooperate and apply for collaborative projects (EU funding) Commission depends on expertise of interest groups City networks can support implementation Supports exchange of experience between cities, transnational learning, development of own standards 14

31 4. Governing 5. Governing capacities Capacities of transnational of Transnational city networks City Networks External governing capacities: Three Forms Influence (governmental institutions) - two-directional process (lobbying and consultation versus EU funding) Interdependence (non-governmental institutions) - competition and cooperation between networks - determined by EU Intermediation (local networks) - local activities depend on policy entrepreneurs - differences between active and passive cities 31

32 Conclusions 32

33 6. Conclusions: General Huge differences between local authorities in Europe; generalizations difficult Actions concentrated on energy policy Municipalities prefer self-governing and enabling approaches Few active versus many passive cities 33

34 6. Conclusions (2) Cities are part of the European multi-level governance Relationship between nation-states and cities in climate change policy Vertical top-down Europeanization has a similar impact on all cities and towns Vertical bottom-up Europeanization und horizontal Europeanization limited to pioneers Transnational city networks are networks of pioneers for pioneers 34
