Climate change control has risen to the top of the international
agenda. Failed efforts, centred in the United Nations, to allocate
responsibility have resulted in a challenge now reaching crisis
stage. John J. Kirton and Ella Kokotsis analyse the generation and
effectiveness of four decades of intergovernmental regimes for
controlling global climate change. Informed by international
relations theories and critical of the prevailing UN approach,
Kirton and Kokotsis trace the global governance of climate change
from its 1970s origins to the present and demonstrate the
effectiveness of the plurilateral summit alternative grounded in
the G7/8 and the G20. Topics covered include: - G7/8 and UN
competition and convergence on governing climate change - Kyoto
obligations and the post-Kyoto regime - The role of the G7/8 and
G20 in generating a regime beyond Kyoto - Projections of and
prescriptions for an effective global climate change control regime
for the twenty-first century. This topical book synthesizes a rich
array of empirical data, including new interview and documentary
material about G7/8 and G20 governance of climate change, and makes
a valuable contribution to understanding the dynamics of governing
climate change. It will appeal to scholars, researchers, and policy
makers interested in the dynamics behind governance processes
within the intergovernmental realm.
