Politically, the world is composed of states. Environmentally, the
world is made up of ecosystems. The disconnect between these two
systems makes addressing environmental issues globally both
difficult and necessary. The study of global environmental politics
draws on a variety of academic traditions. It uses international
relations theory to look at the concerns and actions of states, but
has also had to find a variety of new concepts and perspectives in
order to explain issues unique to the study of the environment.
Here, DeSombre examines four important aspects of the field:
international environmental cooperation; the issues of science,
uncertainty and risk; the experience of developing states in global
environmental negotiations; and the role of non-state actors. In
the second half of the book she examines these issues through the
use of case studies on specific problems facing the global
environment, including ozone depletion and global climate change,
the politics of whaling, the protection of Amazonian biodiversity
and acid rain in Europe and North America.
