When do states implement environmental obligations? The answer is often presented as a dichotomy between sanctions and cooperation. But making European and international law work isn't about choosing one over another, argues Andreas Corcaci. Instead, different paths lead to success, and courts and committees can improve outcomes through intermediation
Affiliated Senior Researcher, Department of Political Science, University of Antwerp
Andreas is engaged in research on European and international environmental governance, in particular coordination and policy implementation.
Prior to his current role, he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow, working on the national implementation of court judgements and committee decisions on environmental obligations beyond the nation state.
His research interests lie in the areas of multilevel (judicial) governance and administration in environmental, energy, climate, and AI policy, as well as concept structures and set-theoretic multimethod research.
His current work focuses on the implementation of environmental obligations, infringement proceedings with a focus on CJEU judgments, temporal concept-structural and configurational analysis, and investigating sociological questions by using eLLMs for data extraction.
Andreas has recently published in Comparative European Politics, Regional & Federal Studies, Journal of Contemporary European Studies, and IEEE Proceedings.
