This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, environmental policy and politics and IR more broadly.

Recenzje

While there are many excellent works on climate diplomacy that also look into the growing role of the emerging economies of India, China, Brazil and South Africa, this book adopts a particularly useful and novel perspective to analyse, collectively and individually, their climate diplomacy positions. By focusing on the key role played by 'ideas' in influencing the climate debates rather than simply taking the 'international climate order' as a given, it provides a uniquely multidimensional exposition of global climate politics from these countries' perspective through 'formula narratives'. The case study of India, in particular, provides a deep understanding of the interaction between various drivers, including ones arising from domestic and international imperatives.
