The last two decades have witnessed an ever growing partisan divide
in US politics over climate change and global warming. Significant
elements in the Republican Party became openly hostile to the
scientific evidence and, following the election of George W. Bush,
legislative action at the federal level effectively ground to a
halt. This opened up space at the state and local level to develop
climate change policies with cities such as Chicago, San Francisco
and New York implementing a number of initiatives that brought real
and substantive developments. The election of Barack Obama in 2008
seemed to open new possibilities for federal and global leadership
once more and whilst the Obama administration has been criticised
for a somewhat contradictory approach to the issue at times, there
were nonetheless a number of substantive policy developments.
Through a substantive and detailed analysis of the politics of
climate change, this book places the evolution of US climate policy
within broader debates on the nature of politics in the US and
argues that there exists a latent potential, often obscured by the
complexities of its political system, for America to act as a world
leader on the issue. This work will appeal particularly to students
and scholars in American Politics, but will also prove useful to
those in the fields of general Politics, climate change,
sustainability, and environmental studies.
