The Climatization of Global Politics
This volume examines the process through which climate change is transforming global governance, as both an increasingly central issue on the international stage and an increasingly structured policy domain with its specific modes of governing, networks of actors, discourses, and knowledge practices. Collectively, the contributions aim to assess how and why climate change is becoming a dominant frame in international politics. In doing so, they also contribute to understanding the dynamics and drivers of climatization. As global warming progresses and efforts to mitigate and adapt intensify, living under a changing climate—or in a ‘new climate regime’ (Latour 2015)—increasingly appea...
Globalising the Climate
Frequently presented as a historic last chance to set the world on a course to prevent catastrophic climate change, the 21st Conference of the Parties to the Climate convention (COP21) was a global summit of exceptional proportions. Bringing together negotiators, scientists, journalists and representatives of global civil society, it also constituted a privileged vantage point for the study of global environmental governance "in the making". This volume offers readers an original account of the current state of play in the field of global climate governance. Building upon a collaborative research project on COP21 carried out by a multidisciplinary team of twenty academics with recognised exp...
Gouverner le climat
Depuis vingt ans, le problème climatique s’est hissé au sommet de l’agenda mondial, et un processus multilatéral s'est mis en place pour y répondre. Or, les concentrations de gaz à effet de serre dans l’atmosphère, responsables des dérèglements climatiques, ont atteint un niveau record en 2013. Comment apprécier le bilan de ces négociations ? Revenant sur le traitement politique du changement climatique, du protocole de Kyoto à aujourd’hui, les auteurs proposent une analyse de ces enjeux et d’une gouvernance qui suscite autant d’attentes qu’elle crée de désillusions. Est-il possible de changer de paradigme, alors que le monde connaît des accélérations majeures e...
The Struggle for the Long-Term in Transnational Science and Politics
This book reconsiders the power of the idea of the future. Bringing together perspectives from cultural history, environmental history, political history and the history of science, it investigates how the future became a specific field of action in liberal democratic, state socialist and post-colonial regimes after the Second World War. It highlights the emergence of new forms of predictive scientific expertise in this period, and shows how such forms of expertise interacted with political systems of the Cold War world order, as the future became the prism for dealing with post-industrialisation, technoscientific progress, changing social values, Cold War tensions and an emerging Third Worl...
Gouverner le climat ?
En vingt ans, le problème climatique s'est hissé au sommet de l'agenda mondial et un processus multilatéral inédit s'est mis en place pour le traiter. Le bilan de ces négociations, qui ont notamment abouti au protocole de Kyoto, reste très limité. Mais comment l'apprécier précisément ? Revenant sur vingt ans de négociation, les auteurs analysent une gouvernance organisée autour de rendez-vous planétaires réguliers créant autant d'attentes que de désillusions ; qui s'apparente aujourd'hui à une fabrique de la lenteur, alors que le monde, confronté à de multiples crises (économique, financière, écologique), connaît des transformations et des accélérations majeures. L'ouvrage aborde ces questions et quelques autres, profondes et stratégiques, tels le problème climatique et la transition énergétique, en Europe, aux Etats-Unis et dans les grands pays émergents ; l'évolution de la géopolitique du climat, la gouvernance mufti-échelles ; l'articulation entre global et local, entre le problème climatique et la globalisation, le développement, etc.
Collaborative Ethnography of Global Environmental Governance
Environmental mega conferences have become the format of choice in environmental governance. Conferences of the Parties (COPs) under the climate change and biodiversity conventions in particular attract global media attention and an ever-growing number of increasingly diverse actors, including scholars of global environmental politics. They are arenas for interstate negotiation, but also temporary interfaces that constitute and represent world society, and they focalise global struggles over just and sustainable futures. Collaborative event ethnography (CEE) as a research methodology emerged as a response to these developments. This volume retraces its genealogy, explains its conceptual and methodological foundations and presents insights into its practice. It is meant as an introduction for students, an overview for curious newcomers to the field, and an invitation for experienced researchers wishing to experiment with a new method. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Climatiser le monde
Cet ouvrage porte sur la gouvernance du climat. L’auteur étudie les évolutions en cours comme résultant du double mouvement d’une « globalisation du climat » et d’une « climatisation du monde ». Deux domaines spécifiques, fortement affectés par la montée en puissance de la question climatique, sont pris comme exemples : les politiques énergétiques et les recherches en sciences du sol.
Energy and Power
A novel exploration of the deeper political, economic, and geopolitical history behind Germany's daring campaign to restructure its energy system around green power. Since the 1990s, Germany has embarked on a daring campaign to restructure its energy system around renewable power, sparking a global revolution in solar and wind technology. But this pioneering energy transition has been plagued with problems. In Energy and Power, Stephen G. Gross explains the deeper origins of the Energiewende--Germany's transition to green energy--and offers the first comprehensive history of German energy and climate policy from World War II to the present. The book follows the Federal Republic as it passed ...
