An assessment of policy options for future global climate governance, written by a team of leading experts from the European Union and developing countries. Global climate governance is at a crossroads. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol was merely a first step, and its core commitments expire in 2012. This book addresses three questions which will be central to any new climate agreement. What is the most effective overall legal and institutional architecture for successful and equitable climate politics? What role should non-state actors play, including multinational corporations, non-governmental organizations, public-private partnerships and market mechanisms in general? How can we deal with the growing challenge of adapting our existing institutions to a substantially warmer world? This important resource offers policy practitioners in-depth qualitative and quantitative assessments of the costs and benefits of various policy options, and also offers academics from wide-ranging disciplines insight into innovative interdisciplinary approaches towards international climate negotiations.

In recent years, the debate on the establishment of a new international agency on environmental protection - a 'World Environment Organization' - has gained substantial momentum. Several countries, including France and Germany, as well as a number of leading experts and senior international civil servants have openly supported the creation of such a new international organization. However, a number of critics have also taken the floor and brought forward important objections. This book presents a balanced selection of articles of the leading participants in this debate, including both major supporters and opponents of creating a World Environment Organization. The volume is especially relevant to students and scholars of international relations, environmental policy and international law, as well as to practitioners of diplomacy, international negotiations, and environmental policy making.

Coined barely two decades ago, the Anthropocene has become one of the most influential and controversial terms in environmental policy. Yet it remains an ambivalent and contested formulation, giving rise to a multitude of unexpected, and often uncomfortable, conversations. This book traces in detail a broad variety of such 'Anthropocene encounters': in science, philosophy and literary fiction. It asks what it means to 'think green' in a time when nature no longer offers a stable backdrop to political analysis. Do familiar political categories and concepts, such as democracy, justice, power and time, hold when confronted with a world radically transformed by humans? The book responds by inviting more radical political thought, plural forms of engagement, and extended ethical commitments, making it a fascinating and timely volume for graduate students and researchers working in earth system governance, environmental politics and studies of the Anthropocene. This is one of a series of publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project. For more publications, see www.cambridge.org/earth-system-governance.
Architectures of Earth System Governance
Institutional Complexity and Structural Transformation

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
International institutions are prevalent in world politics. More than a thousand multilateral treaties are in place just to protect the environment alone, and there are many more. And yet, it is also clear that these institutions do not operate in a void but are enmeshed in larger, highly complex webs of governance arrangements. This compelling book conceptualises these broader structures as the 'architectures' of global governance. Here, over 40 international relations scholars offer an authoritative synthesis of a decade of research on global governance architectures with an empirical focus on protecting the environment and vital earth systems. They investigate the structural intricacies of earth system governance and explain how global architectures enable or hinder individual institutions and their overall effectiveness. The book offers much-needed conceptual clarity about key building blocks and structures of complex governance architectures, charts detailed directions for new research, and provides analytical groundwork for policy reform. This is one of a series of publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project. For more publications, see www.cambridge.org/earth-system-governance.

The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg is remembered mainly for the promotion of a novel form of global governance: the so-called 'partnerships for sustainable development'. This book provides a first authoritative assessment of partnerships for sustainable development, ten years after the Johannesburg Summit. The extensive research builds on an exclusive Global Sustainability Partnerships Database and a series of in-depth qualitative case studies. Key questions studied in this book include the overall effectiveness and influence of partnerships, their geographical, functional and organizational scope, and their legitimacy. This unique book systematically investigates the questions of emergence, influence and legitimacy, which will prove invaluable for scholars and students interested in global environmental governance and sustainability, public-private partnerships, sustainability at the UN level and environmental governance beyond international agreements and policies. Contributors: K. Backstrand, F. Biermann, S. Chan, D. Compagnon, E. Dellas, A. Mert, C. Muller, P. Pattberg, K. Szulecki
Partnerships, Governance and Sustainable Development
Reflections on Theory and Practice

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This significant study discusses the emergence of partnerships for sustainable development as an innovative, and potentially influential, new type of governance. With contributions from leading experts in the field, the 'partnership paradigm' is discussed and the contributors explore the process, extent and circumstances under which partnerships can improve the legitimacy and effectiveness of governance for sustainable development.Scientific research on partnerships within the context of governance theory is fairly new, and there is a clear need to systemize a knowledge base to further define the international research agenda. In addition, there is an urgent demand from governments and international organizations, as well as from non-governmental actors, for strategic insights to build upon their activities in this field. This book is designed to address the questions, debates and agendas related to this new mode of governance.This multi-disciplinary book brings together unique perspectives from organizational theory, policy science, sociology and political science. As such, it will be warmly welcomed by academics of environmental policy and politics as well as scholars and researchers interested in governance for sustainable development. It will also appeal to public policy scholars.

Das Thema "Politik und Umwelt" weist uber die Umweltpolitik als abgegrenztes Politikfeld hinaus. Die Bearbeitung der Herausforderungen, die aus der Konfrontation gegenwartiger Gesellschaften mit der Begrenztheit naturlicher Ressourcen und der Zerstorung okologischer Systeme erwachsen, hat die Inhalte, Strukturen und Prozesse der Politik umfassend verandert. In dem Band wird Umweltpolitik sowohl als ein Beispiel der allgemeinen Entwicklung politischer Systeme wie auch als Motor fur deren Modernisierung beschrieben. Die einzelnen Beitrage beruhren dabei grundlegende Problemstellungen der Politikwissenschaft. Sie diskutieren am Beispiel nationaler, internationaler und transnationaler Umweltpolitik Fragen nach dem Regieren jenseits des Nationalstaates oder in Mehrebenensystemen, den Entwicklungen und Veranderungen grenzuberschreitender Zusammenarbeit im internationalen System, dem Einfluss nicht-staatlicher Akteure, der Interdependenz und Integration verschiedener Politikdomanen, der staatlichen Handlungsautonomie und Steuerungsfahigkeit unter den Bedingungen von Globalisierung und internationalem Wettbewerb, sowie Probleme der Gerechtigkeit, Partizipation und Demokratie.Insgesamt spiegeln die Beitrage dabei die Vielfalt der methodischen Ansatze und theoretischen Orientierungen in der Politikwissenschaft wider. Sie zeigen, dass deren Anwendung in der Untersuchung der Umweltpolitik und ihrer besonderen Herausforderungen sowohl fur die Gewinnung von praxisrelevantem Wissen als auch fur die Weiterentwicklung der Disziplin fruchtbar ist.
