Publisher's Synopsis
Global Environmental Politics provides students with timely and up-to-date analysis of the field. Several key developments have occurred in the last five years, including the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, the increasing commitment of some emerging countries, and the proliferation of transnational initiatives. Global Environmental Politics takes stock of recent events in global environmental politics and offers an overview of current issues and debates. It goes beyond empirical description by introducing students to concepts, theories, methods, and debates from the academic literature. Classic notions, such as "tragedy of the commons" and "international regimes" are discussed, as well as more recent developments, including those on "institutional interactions," "complex system analysis," "science and politics interfaces," "network analysis," or "organizational ecology."
