文档介绍：Climate for Change
ClimateforChange:Non-stateActorsandtheGlobalPoliticsoftheGreenhouse provides a
challenging explanation of the forces that have shaped the international global
warming debate. Unlike existing books on the politics of climate change, this
book concentrates on how non-state actors, such as scienti¢c, environmental
and industry groups, as opposed to anisations, a¡ect political
the media in in£uencing the agenda.
Critical of the predominance of state-based regime theory in the explanation
of international environmental cooperation, the author makes a strong case for
the centralityof non-statescienti¢c,environmentalandindustrygroups,aswell
as the mass media,to explanations ofhow the climate regimewas formedand has
bookdraws on a range ofanalytical approaches to assess andexplain
the in£uence these non-state actors have brought to bear on the course of global
climate politics. It explores the bene¢ts of a theoretical perspective that fuses
insights from international political economy with those of transnational rela-
tions in order to capture more adequately the di¡erent dimensions of the power
of non-state actors in global environmental politics.
The book will be of interest to all researchers and policy-makers associated
with climate change, andwill be used in university courses in international rela-
tions,politics and environmental studies.
