one of the most urgent international issues to be addressed. This
book is a timely and up-to-date compilation of the main pieces of
the global environmental governance puzzle. Essential Concepts of
Global Environmental Governance synthesizes writing from an
internationally diverse range of well-known experts. Each entry
defines a central concept in global environmental governance,
presents its historical evolution and related debates, and includes
key bibliographical references. This new edition takes stock of
several recent developments in global environmental politics
including the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the UN Global
Pact for the Environment attempt in 2017, and the 2018 Oceans
Plastics Charter. More precisely, this book: offers cutting-edge
analysis of the state of global environmental governance; presents
an up-to-date debate on sustainable development at the global
level; gives an in-depth exploration of current architecture of
global environmental governance; examines the interaction between
environmental politics and other policy fields such as trade,
development, and security; provides a critical review of the recent
global environmental governance literature. Innovative thinking and
high-profile expertise come together to create a volume that is
accessible to students, scholars, and practitioners alike.

By focusing on the wider process of negotiations, this novel volume
presents the first systematic analysis of the Transatlantic Trade
and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The authors include outstanding
scholars and relevant practitioners from across disciplines and
various academic institutions around Europe and North America, but
also from outside of the transatlantic basin. While presenting a
thorough examination of the process of TTIP negotiations, the
volume is divided into four parts with each part examining a
broader theme and offering three or four shorter exploratory
chapters that are accessible to academics, students, policy-makers
and a wider audience. The volume explores historical and
theoretical aspects of TTIP (with chapters by Gamble, Keohane and
Morse, Telo), the beginnings of the TTIP talks and the role of
individual actors (Mayer, Novotna, Dur and Lechner, Strange),
TTIP's possible knock-on effects and consequences for third parties
(Aggarwal and Evenett, Duchesne and Ouellet, Zhang, Ponjaert) as
well as impact on multilateral institutions and regimes complexes
(Mavroidis, Mortensen, Meunier and Morin, Pauwelyn). The authors
highlight dynamics which underline the relationship between the
United States and the European Union and argue that TTIP promises
to have vast implications not just for economics but global
governance and international system.
Leading scholars in discourse analysis and European foreign policy
join forces in this book, marking a real breakthrough in the
literature. Not only do they offer original perspectives on
European foreign policy, but they bring together various theories
on foreign policy discourses that remain too often isolated from
each other. This theoretical diversity is clearly reflected in the
book's four-pronged structure: Part I - Post-structuralist
Approaches (with contributions from Thomas Diez, Henrik Larsen and
Beste Isleyen); Part II - Constructivist Approaches (with
contributions from Knud Erik Jorgensen, Jan Orbie, Ferdi de Ville,
Esther Barbe, Anna Herranz-Surralles and Michal Natorski); Part III
- Critical Discourse Analytical Approaches (with contributions from
Senem Aydin-Duzgit, Amelie Kutter, Ruth Wodak, Salomi Boukala and
Caterina Carta); Part IV - Discursive Institutionalist Approaches
(with contributions from Ben Rosamond, Antoine Rayroux and Vivien
A. Schmidt). The volume is the first full-length study on how to
apply different discourse analytical approaches and methodologies
to European foreign policy. The paperback edition makes for a
unique selling point as a course text.

This book presents the evolution of the field of foreign policy
analysis and explains the theories that have structured research in
this area over the last 50 years. It provides the essentials of
emerging theoretical trends, data and methodological pitfalls and
major case-studies and is designed to be a key entry point for
graduate students, upper-level undergraduates and scholars into the
discipline. The volume features an eclectic panorama of different
conceptual, theoretical and methodological approaches to foreign
political analysis, focusing on different models of analysis such
as two-level game analysis, bureaucratic politics, strategic
culture, cybernetics, poliheuristic analysis, cognitive mapping,
gender studies, groupthink and the systemic sources of foreign
policy. The authors also clarify conceptual notions such as
doctrines, ideologies and national interest, through the lenses of
foreign policy analysis.
Research Methods in the Social Sciences is a comprehensive yet
compact A-Z for undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking
research across the social sciences, featuring 71 entries that
cover a wide range of concepts, methods, and theories. Each entry
begins with an accessible introduction to a method, using
real-world examples from a wide range of academic disciplines,
before discussing the benefits and limitations of the approach, its
current status in academic practice, and finally providing tips and
advice for readers on when and how to apply the method in their own
research. Wide ranging and interdisciplinary, the text covers both
well-established concepts and emerging ideas, such as big data and
network analysis, for qualitative and quantitative research
methods. All entries feature extensive cross-referencing, providing
ease of navigation and, pointing readers to related concepts, and
to help build their overall understanding of research methods.
How the environmental provisions in US preferential trade
agreements affect both the environmental policies of trading
partners and the effectiveness of multilateral environmental
agreements. As trade negotiations within the World Trade
Organization seem permanently stalled, countries turn increasingly
to preferential trade agreements (PTAs) between smaller groups of
nations. Many of these PTAs incorporate environmental provisions,
some of which require trading partners to enact new domestic
environmental laws, and use the enforcement mechanisms available
within trade agreements as tools for environmental protection. In
Greening through Trade, Sikina Jinnah and Jean-Frederic Morin
provide the first detailed examination of how the environmental
provisions in US preferential trade agreements affect both the
environmental policies of trading partners and the effectiveness of
multilateral environmental agreements. They do so through a
combination of in-depth qualitative case studies and quantitative
analysis of an original dataset of 688 global PTAs. Jinnah and
Morin explore the effects of linkages between PTAs and
environmental treaties and the diffusion of environmental norms and
policy through PTAs. Centrally, they argue that US trade agreements
can serve as mechanisms both to export environmental policies to
trading partner nations and third-party countries and to enhance
the effectiveness of multilateral environmental agreements by
strengthening their enforcement capacity. They caution that PTAs
are not a panacea for environmental governance; deeper problems of
unsustainable consumption and differential power dynamics between
trading partners must be carefully navigated in deploying trade
agreements for environmental protection.
Global Environmental Politics provides a fully up to date and
comprehensive introduction to the most important issues dominating
this fast moving field. Going beyond the issue of climate change,
the textbook also introduces students to the pressing issues of
desertification, trade in hazardous waste, biodiversity protection,
whaling, acid rain, ozone-depletion, water consumption, and
over-fishing. . Importantly, the authors pay particular attention
to the interactions between environmental politics and other
governance issues, such as gender, trade, development, health,
agriculture, and security. Adopting an analytical approach, the
authors explore and evaluate a wide variety of political
perspectives, testing students' assumptions and equipping them with
the necessary tools to develop their own arguments and, ultimately,
inspiring students to pursue their own research endeavours in this
diverse field.
