Climate change is now a mainstream part of the international
political agenda. It has become clear that it is not solely a
technical issue, to be resolved by scientists, but a political
issue with political implications at all levels of global
governance. Indeed, some may argue that few long-term problems in
international affairs are more important than this one. The purpose
of this book is to reveal and apply some of the latest thinking on
the implications of climate change for international affairs, and
to explore how various proposals for tackling climate change will
affect interstate relations in coming years. Chapters by scholars
of international relations, international political economy and
international law contribute to current discussions of climate
change, doing so in way that is accessible to students,
stakeholders, government officials and informed laypersons. Some
questions considered in the book include the following: How has the
discussion of climate change affected interstate relations? How
does this problem, and how do environmental issues more generally,
challenge international relations theory? How do international
climate politics influence domestic politics, and vice-versa? How
would climate change or action taken to tackle it affect the
balance of power or balance of influence? Is climate change a
matter of international security or international justice-or
both-and how does the answer to this question affect policy
responses of governments? Which states are likely to benefit or
suffer from the various proposals to address climate change? What
are the legal, ethical and political implications of the uneven
distribution of the impacts of climate change? This book was
previously published as a special issue of the Cambridge Review of
International Affairs.
