Accomplishing Climate Governance
Accomplishing Climate Governance
This book provides a new approach to thinking about the politics and geographies of climate governance. It argues that in order to understand the nature and potential of the range of new responses to climate change emerging at multiple scales we need to examine how governance is accomplished – how it is undertaken, practiced and contested. Through a range of case studies drawn from communities, corporations and local government, the book examines how climate change comes to be governed and made to matter as an issue with which diverse publics should be concerned. It concludes that rather than seeking the solution to climate change once and for all, we need to engage with the ways in which we can channel our intentions to ameliorate the climate problem to more progressive ends. The book will be of interest to researchers, advanced students and policy makers across the social sciences.
- Proposes a new theoretical approach for understanding the politics of climate change
- Uses the case of climate governance as a means through which to advance our understanding of a post-structural, material political geography, and will appeal to a wider social science audience than that concerned with climate change per se
- Real-world examples ground the theoretical approach and make the book legible to a wider audience
