摘要

当面对高度异质的国情和偏好时,欧盟常常诉诸差异化,以确保对推进共同政策的政治支持。尽管学术界对欧盟的分化越来越感兴趣,但不同形式的分化的概念清晰度和经验证据仍处于初级阶段。特别是需要更好地理解在危机时期使用差异化。为了解决这一研究缺口,我们研究了欧盟在应对俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰引发的危机时可再生能源政策的差异。我们发现,欧盟成功地利用乌克兰危机增加了可再生能源政策的雄心,但这伴随着各种各样的、往往是新颖形式的分化。欧盟的决策者们并没有正式地让一些国家免于欧盟的共同规定(差异化一体化),而是在实施中战略性地融入了灵活性,通常是为少数例外国家量身定制的。战略灵活性有助于克服各国政府之间的政治分歧,采取更雄心勃勃、更全面的可再生能源政策。我们的研究结果在概念上和经验上有助于理解欧盟政策制定中的各种形式的差异,以及如何利用它们来促进危机期间政治多数的建立。

EU Renewable Energy Governance and the Ukraine War: Moving Ahead Through Strategic Flexibility?
When faced with highly heterogeneous national conditions and preferences, the EU has often resorted to differentiation to ensure political support for advancing common policies. Despite growing scholarly interest in differentiation in the EU, conceptual clarity and empirical evidence of different forms of differentiation are still in a nascent stage. Particularly the use of differentiation in times of crisis needs to be better understood. To address this research gap, we investigate differentiation in the EU renewable energy policy in response to the crisis stirred by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We find that the EU successfully used the Ukraine crisis to increase the ambition of renewable energy policy, but this was accompanied by various and often novel forms of differentiation. Rather than formally exempting countries from common EU provisions (differentiated integration), EU decision-makers strategically incorporated flexibility in implementation, often tailored to a few outlier countries. Strategic flexibility was instrumental in overcoming political disagreements among national governments and adopting a more ambitious and comprehensive renewable energy policy. Our findings contribute conceptually and empirically to understanding various forms of differentiation in EU policymaking and how they are employed to facilitate the building of political majorities during crises.
