Great Powers, Climate Change, and Global Environmental Responsibilities de Robert Falkner

Great Powers, Climate Change, and Global Environmental Responsibilities

Editat de Robert Falkner, Barry Buzan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 ian 2022
This book is the first of its kind to examine the role of great powers in the international politics of climate change. It develops a novel analytical framework for studying environmental power in international relations, what counts as a great power in the environmental field, and what their special environmental responsibilities are. In doing so, the book connects International Relations (IR) debates on power inequality, great powers and great power management, with global environmental politics (GEP) scholarship. The book brings together leading scholars in IR and GEP whose contributions focus on major environmental powers (United States, China, European Union, India, Brazil, Russia) and international institutions and issue areas (UN Security Council, multilateral environmental agreements, international climate leadership, coal politics). The contributors to this volume examine how individual great powers have responded to the global climate challenge and whether they have accepted a special responsibility for stabilizing the global climate. They place emerging discourses on great power responsibility in the context of wider debates about international environmental leadership and climate change securitization. And they provide new insights into how international power inequality intersects with the global ecological crisis, and what special role great powers could and should play in the international fight against global warming.

Recenzii

this fascinating and rich volume brings together a group of outstanding scholars to address an important set of questions for both IR and GEP scholarship. It opens up space to broaden and sharpen analyses of great green powers in the future, using the conceptual toolkit provided.
Falkner and Buzan provide a persuasive conceptual basis to understand the core challenges countries must overcome if equity and responsibility in international environmental policy are to be accepted and advanced by those with significant environmental great power.
Robert Falkner and Barry Buzan have gathered a sterling set of contributors—11 of 16 of which are women—to advance their arguments and build a compelling framework...[they offer] a more global yet focused approach that will help academics and policy-makers grapple with environmental issues beyond country-specific analyses...contributors explore the relationship between great power status, the management of global international society and the nature of great power responsibility...This level of conceptual clarity is a welcome addition to the IR literature... Falkner and Buzan provide a persuasive conceptual basis to understand the core challenges countries must overcome if equity and responsibility in international environmental policy are to be accepted and advanced by those with significant environmental great power.
The book enriches the debate on the role of large powers in global governance and will be of interest to scholars interested in the global environmental policy. Naturally, the book leaves many avenues open for future publications, such as the role of African countries or small States islanders who, having no power in other areas of international relations, have have proven to be good leaders in demanding greater climate ambition from States with greater historical responsibility.
Great Powers, Climate Change, and Global Environmental Responsibilities, edited by Robert Falkner and Barry Buzan, is a significant contribution to the realm of international relations and environmental politics.
Great Powers, Climate Change, and Global Environmental Responsibilities is a seminal work. It expertly delineates the concept of great environmental power, its positive and negative dimensions, and ensuing responsibilities. It has the potential to reposition global climate change from a sidelined issue to a central focus in foreign policy agendas.
