Post-Kyoto Climate Governance

Confronting the Politics of Scale, Ideology, and Knowledge

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book critically assesses a broad range of policy mechanisms that are being negotiated for a post Kyoto (post-2012) climate governance regime at international, national and local levels, across both public and private sectors. An interdisciplinary perspective, cutting across environmental policy, ecological economics, climate science, environmental law, environmental psychology, political geography, political science, political ecology, political anthropology, international relations and environmental sociology is deliberately adopted to present a multi-dimensional yet integrative critique of climate policy. More specifically, three critical policy analytical lenses are used to evaluate the inherent complexity of designing post-Kyoto climate policy: the politics of scale; the politics of ideology; and the politics of knowledge. This interdisciplinary approach attempts a vastly different approach to existing books on the topic of post-Kyoto climate policy.
