Opis

The first comprehensive study to explain the workings of transgovernmental environmental and nuclear cooperation across the so-called 'Global South'.

Recenzje

'Alcañiz goes behind the scenes of global policy-making and finds a vibrant space where bureaucrats cooperate to creatively solve problems. She argues persuasively - using sophisticated network analysis and well-chosen case studies - that this process also deepens global inequalities, as the bureaucrats are most closely networked with those with similar skills and resources levels.' Kathryn Hochstetler, London School of Economics and Political Science
