Recenzii

"Climate Change and American Foreign Policy loosens the deadlock between Realpolitik and the dangerous realities of climate change." - Aubrey Meyer, Global Commons Institute, London.

"This book's diverse investigations into the reasons for the slow pace of the American policy response to the climate problem also show the possibilities and limits of various theoretical approaches to policy analysis. Given the importance of climate change issues and the obvious need for a constructive American policy, this book is a timely contribution that will stimulate scholarly discussion about both pressing practical policy matters, as well as the current conceptual questions in studying international environmental policymaking." - Simon Dalby, Carleton University, Ottawa
