ISBN: 9780521471220 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is an exploration and analysis of the electricity industry in the context of uncertainty following the energy crisis of the 1970s and concern over the greenhouse effect. Electricity has long been regarded as a natural monopoly, but questions of privatization, regulation and government control are increasingly prevalent. The book explores these issues through case studies from Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

The Finance Sector and Climate Change: Constraining Credit for Coal
ISBN: 9781036415938 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A common claim is that fossil fuel interests thwart sound policy on climate change, but this book shows any funding of contrarian groups is outdone by the financial sector, supporting the conduct of science, the operation of environment groups, alarmist media reporting and the conduct of politics to serve the activities in which they have invested–initially natural gas but latterly renewables. This support is often channelled through 'pass through' funds in what has been described as 'philanthrocapitalism'. One example is Covering Climate Now, a cartel of news media outlets, ensuring a...

Mining Industry Association at Multiple Levels of Governance: Drilling Down
ISBN: 9781527576919 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many books on interest groups study how they conduct themselves in politics, and rather take for granted their existence. Unusually, this book examines the reasons why, for many years, there was no global level group representing the mining and non-ferrous metals industry and how the sector found a basis for association at the turn of the millennium, in response to the globalisation of environmental policy and the emerging focus on sustainable development. The associated reconfiguration of competences at the national and state levels in Australia is also shown to have had important...

Negotiating Climate Change: A Forensic Analysis
ISBN: 9781786438201 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change marked a reset of global climate policy, but was jeopardised by the partisan nature of the debates. In this unique overview, Aynsley Kellow suggests that global policy on climate change should have started with the Paris Agreement, and that almost a quarter of a century has been wasted following the wrong path. Looking critically at the interplay between interests, science, and global norms, Negotiating Climate Change shows how the initial selection of the wrong `metapolicy' hindered the development of global climate policy. Examining key debates,...

Middle Powers and International Organisations: Australia and the Oecd
ISBN: 9781788110631 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book provides a unique examination of how a middle power uses international organisations to achieve greater global influence. The authors focus on the OECD, 'the rich man's club' of most of the world's wealthiest nations. It demonstrates how the decision by Australia to apply for membership was a long drawn out process, delayed by political factors. Eventually agreement was reached with assurances that membership would provide access to valuable and timely policy-related information, especially in relation to international trade and finance. In addition, membership would potentially...
