The Organization Of Global Negotiations: Constructing The Climate Change Regime

E-Book Overview

This book explores how the negotiations were organized to produce the Kyoto Protocol to the Climate Change Convention and the Subsequent Bonn Agreements and Marrakesh Accords. The author draws out the lessons and implications for other intricate and far-reaching negotiations, not all of which have succeeded so far, such as the WTO trade negotiations at Seattle and Cancun. This is essential reading for all participants in and organizers of international negotiations; and for researchers and students of international relations, climate change and environmental studies.
