Abstract
- This article claims that--notwithstanding limitations--in environmental cooperation with China Europe has been effective in projecting international norms that China has shown interest in embracing. On the one hand, European normative power effectiveness is due to its power of example in global environmental issues and Beijing's acknowledgement of Europe's leading global role in this area. On the other hand, it is a result of Beijing's recognition of the urgency of the issue domestically, indispensable to secure further economic growth and global influence. This suggests the relevance of the power of domestic interest to Beijing's approach towards international cooperation with international standards as pursued by Europe. Persisting limitations to Europe's effectiveness, however, include the normative divergence burdening relations with China, and its fragmented governance system. In addition, the economic, political and social problems Europe isfacingfollowing the 2008 financial crisis have challenged its global standing, constraining its normative ambitions concerning China.
