Global climate change is perceived to be one of the biggest
challenges for international politics in the 21st century. This
work seeks to fuse a global governance perspective together with
different interpretive approaches, offering a novel way of looking
at international climate politics. Equipped with a common
interpretive tool-kit, the authors examine different issue-areas
and excavate the contours of an overall pattern the
depoliticisation of climate governance. It is this concept which
represents the overarching theme connecting the different
contributions, addressing issues such as how the securitization of
climate change conceals its socio-economic roots; how highly
political decisions and value-judgements are couched in the terms
of science; how the reframing of climate change as a matter of
economic calculation and investment narrows the scope of political
action; and how the prevailing concentration on technological
solutions to climate change turns it into a mere administrative
issue to be tackled by experts. Highlighting the depoliticisation
of highly political issues provides a means to bring the political
back into one of the most important issue areas of 21st century
world politics.
The editors have assembled a series of 14 interpretive inquiries
into discourses of global climate governance which aim to flesh out
an interpretive methodology, demonstrating the value it offers to
those seeking to achieve a better understanding of global climate
governance.
This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of
environmental politics, political theory and climate change.
