Produktbeschreibung

This book examines why a close collaboration between the EU and China may result in the necessary push to solidify a concrete vision and a roadmap for our common future in the Anthropocene. Introducing a novel perspective and narrative on climate change policy leadership through analysis of international relations diplomacy, Kalantzakos examines the role of the US, EU and China in the global fight against climate change, as well as the way in which the EU and China have both utilized their substantial development aid as soft power tools to gain influence in developing nations.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental politics, international relations, climate change and energy law and policy.
