Stakeholders of the EU ETS - Interviews

<p>The interview were realised in the context of the PLATO project. PLATO investigates the legitimacy of the EU&rsquo;s responses to the financial crisis. It uses the example of the financial crisis to build and test theory of what would amount to a legitimacy crisis in the case of a multi-state, non-state political system such as the EU. PLATO generates new understandings of the EU&rsquo;s legitimacy crisis through multiple, connected case studies undertaken by 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><a>Project flyer: https://www.plato.uio.no/plato-itn-flyer.pdf</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>In my PhD project I examine how stakeholders involved in the public debate on the EU&rsquo;s emissions trading scheme (ETS) justify, criticise and legitimise it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The data is semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. The interviews aim at collecting data on the stakeholders&rsquo; position in the negotiations and on their organization&rsquo;s viewpoints.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Personal information (such as age, gender, professional position or political opinions) were not collected.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The objective of this interview is twofold:&nbsp;</p> <p>- Understanding the ETS negotiations and the stakeholders&rsquo; interests&nbsp;</p> <p>- Identifying the social norms the stakeholders use to justify the ETS and the EU&nbsp;</p> <p>- Identify how stakeholders criticise the ETS&nbsp;</p>
