Carbon Politics and the Failure of Kyoto charts the framework and
political evolution of the Kyoto Protocol negotiations and examines
the ensuing failure of the international community to adequately
address climate change. The focus is not on the science or
consequences of climate change but on the political gamesmanship of
the major players throughout the UNFCCC negotiation process. More
than an updated history of the subject matter, this book provides a
detailed study of the carbon targets which became the biggest
influencing factor on the reaction of nations to Kyoto's binding
agreements. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the leading
nations' motives, including the US, China and Germany, in entering
the negotiations, in particular, their economic interests. Despite
the effort to combat climate change in politics that the
negotiations represent, the book concludes that an agreement which
requires almost 200 very different nations to agree on a single
protocol is doomed to failure. The book offers a novel contribution
to our understanding of this failure and suggests alternative
frameworks and policies to tackle what is arguably the most complex
political issue of our time.
