Download or read book The Environment International Relations and U S Foreign Policy written by Paul G. Harris and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-14 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world's largest polluter and its wealthiest country, the United States has a potentially enormous impact on international efforts to protect the environment. In this innovative and thought-provoking book, an international group of scholars examines how U.S. foreign policy affects and is affected by global environmental change. Covering three broad areas—national security and geopolitics, domestic and international politics, and national interests and international obligations—the contributors examine a host of key issues, including ozone depletion and climate change, biodiversity and whale hunting, environmental and energy security, and international trade. They also raise moral issues associated with the United States's obligations to the rest of humanity. Because the environment has become an ever-more pressing issue at the diplomatic level, this book is essential, timely reading for policymakers, activists, and anyone interested in environmental change and international relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les changements climatiques peuvent-ils déclencher des guerres ? Existe-t-il un consensus scientifique sur la meilleure façon de s'attaquer à ces changements ? Les États-Unis sont-ils toujours hostiles en matière de protection de l'environnement ? La coopération multilatérale est-elle vouée à l'échec face aux souverainetés nationales ? Que valent les déclarations politiques si elles ne sont pas accompagnées de mécanismes coercitifs ? Les firmes transnationales peuvent-elles devenir les alliées des ONG ? Autant de questions qu'aborde ce manuel. Incubateur d'idées, l’environnement est un domaine fécond qui ne cesse de s’enrichir depuis la fin du XXe siècle. Parce que nombre des réalités auxquelles il est confronté sont inédites et sans frontières, il est source de nouveaux outils et concepts en relations internationales – tels que l’interdépendance, les modes de gouvernance innovants en réseau, l’équité intergénérationnelle, l’efficacité de la coopération, etc. L’environnement fournit aussi un angle particulièrement intéressant pour observer la diplomatie de sommets et les interactions entre régimes internationaux, ou encore pour analyser l’efficacité de tel ou tel instrument international et le rôle des acteurs non étatiques, notamment les scientifiques. Structuré en fonction des principaux débats analytiques de la politique internationale de l’environnement, ce manuel propose des textes pédagogiques accompagnés de nombreux tableaux, cartes, diagrammes, repères chronologiques, encadrés, index et liens vers des ressources spécialisées, afin de faciliter la compréhension de ce champ d’études et d’encourager de nouvelles recherches.

Book excerpt: While environmental protection has been a focus of decision-making under the Antarctic Treaty, the rules adopted did not engender an effective protection regime. This book examines the international politics of environmental protection in the Antarctic. It analyses recent events, including the demise of the Antarctic Minerals Convention and the negotiation of the Madrid Protocol which hold out the hope of much improved protection of the fragile Antarctic environment. This study also considers what political lessons the Antarctic experience might have for broader concerns in international environmental relations.

Download or read book The Greening of Machiavelli written by Tony Brenton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1994. Environmental issues present a daunting challenge to the international system. The destruction of the tropical rainforest, the Chernobyl explosion and the ozone layer ‘hole’ all underline the transnational nature of environmental threats and the need for states to act together in order to tackle them. How have such environmental issues entered political agendas in different parts of the world and how has that affected national positions? Can governments ever reconcile their own national interests with the international cooperation needed to deal with transboundary issues such as climate change? This book traces the history of international environmental negotiations and regulations and looks at the domestic policies upon which cooperation in the international community depends. It covers some major milestones in recent history, from the Torrey Canyon accident through to the Rio ‘Earth Summit’ and the emergence of the European Community as a major international environmental actor. It also looks at cross-cutting issues such as the role of non-governmental organizations, the environmental impacts of world agriculture and trading arrangements, industry’s attitudes, and the relationship between democracy and environmental protection. It concludes by examining how the international system has adapted, and may adapt further, to deal effectively with environmental problems, and reflects on the implications of this for the future.

Download or read book Environment As a Focus for Public Policy written by Lynton Keith Caldwell and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the environmental movement had gained prominence in this country, one writer began to explore the environment and the human condition as a topic of public policy. From 1963 through 1973 Lynton K. Caldwell was alone among political scientists and policy analysts in writing about the subject in any breadth or depth. His pioneering work led to his role as one of the architects of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 and established environmental policy and politics as a field of academic research. Caldwell's early work is richly relevant to current understanding of environmental policy. This volume brings together the best of his writing from that first decade, making it available for policy debates, theorizing, and reference. This collection is of both historical significance and contemporary relevance and will be invaluable to the many scholars and professionals across various disciplines, fields, and nations who have read and been profoundly influenced by Caldwell's more recent work, including nine widely praised and cited books and dozens of articles. The fourteen articles and papers in this volume address the definition of environmental policy, analysis of international environmental policy development, and environmental policy as a product of and fundamental challenge to modernity. An original analytical introduction by the volume editors places Caldwell's early work in the context of the research that has followed. Caldwell has written, especially for this book, a new, retrospective chapter, a brief introduction to each article, and an epilogue on the meaning of environmental policy.

Download or read book Conflicts in Environmental Regulation and the Internationalisation of the State written by Ulrich Brand and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-04-24 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the global regulation of biodiversity politics through the UN UNConvention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the WTO and other international treaties. Using historical-materialist state and regulation theory, it assesses how the discourse and politics of sustainable development have contributed to the internationalisation of the state. The authors argue that sustainable development, far from being a fixed concept, is a conceptual terrain on which different and conflicting symbolisations of and solutions responses to of the ecological crisis struggle for hegemony. Furthermore, it shows that the international multilateral environmental organisations agreements are not at all a means to counteract neoliberal globalisation but, on the contrary, form an integral part of the ongoing transformation process. Focussing on the UN Convention on Biological DiversityCBD, the FAO International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) in the World Trade Organisation, this co-authored volume addresses the following issues: state theory, regulation theory and International Political Economy biodiversity protection and valorisation of genetic resources access to genetic resources and sharing of benefits which arise out of its use enforcement of intellectual property rights and their impact on biodiversity. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international politics, international political economy, environmental studies, development studies and political ecology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notre entrée dans l’Anthropocène – cette nouvelle ère géologique caractérisée par l’influence inédite des sociétés humaines sur les cycles naturels de la planète – a de profondes répercussions dans les relations internationales. Changement climatique, perte de la biodiversité, pénurie des ressources : les effets de la crise écologique se multiplient et provoquent des bouleversements dans l’espace mondial. L’environnement devient dès lors source d’enjeux et de crises. Qui sont les acteurs impliqués dans les conflits environnementaux ? Comment cherchent-ils à influencer les décisions politiques pour protéger leurs intérêts ? À l’heure où l’ONU peine à mettre en œuvre les accords sur le climat et où la guerre en Ukraine met en lumière les liens ténus entre sécurité et énergie, Adrien Estève propose une approche globale de la géopolitique de l’environnement et expose les interactions complexes entre les facteurs environnementaux, économiques et sociaux.
