Recenzii
"This brief book is the perfect primer on the challenge of climate change and the politics that will shape how we design and adopt solutions to it. Regan gives us an informative, accessible, succinct, and yet comprehensive introduction to climate change as a collective action dilemma, the failure to date to address it adequately, lessons from comparable success stories in global environmental policy, and a realistic political path forward for a climate change policy that can work."
-- Michael E. Kraft, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
"The author revives rational choice theory in a way that can aid not only in understanding why climate negotiations failed, largely due to U.S. domestic politics, but in understanding how it can actually be rational to adopt costly mitigation measures... The extensive look at U.S. Congressional politics gives a unique entrée into U.S. foreign policy vis-à -vis international climate negotiations. This is an important contribution to the field."

Descriere
In 2009 the US House of Representatives passed legislation requiring reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 18 percent over the coming decade. Later that year, President Obama went to Copenhagen to sign a treaty requiring further reductions over a two-decade period. The President came back without any firm commitments. This book articulates a multilevel process that starts with local interests and politics to explain how they can influence international negotiations and why President Obama's efforts in Copenhagen were doomed to fail.
