Abstract

This article analyses the European Union’s efforts to influence the energy governance beyond its borders. Focusing on EU support for renewable energy policies in Georgia and Tunisia as part of European Green Deal and other EU policy frameworks, we emphasize the importance of business actors, civil society and resistance movements in supporting and contesting the implementation of EU norms. We propose conceptual framework that integrates a critical reassessment of external governance literature with a configurational and decentralised approach to EU external action. This perspective reframes the external dimension of the European Green Deal by moving beyond an EU-centric lens to consider the roles of other international organisations and the autonomy of domestic actors in pursuing their strategies. Both case studies highlight the importance of support coalitions but also domestic contestations and transnational actor configurations.
