MARC
Power in a Warming World offers a penetrating analysis of how international power politics restricts climate change governance. Using three decades of experience as observers and participants in UN global climate change negotiations, Ciplet (Univ. of Colorado--Boulder), Roberts (Brown Univ.), and Khan (North South Univ., Bangladesh) move deftly between recounting historical record and their Gramscian-based theoretical interpretation and, as such, will attract a broad audience. Chapters range in focus from Copenhagen (chapter 3) to six potential scenarios in a warming world (chapter 9). Civil society scholars will find the critique in chapter 7of professional NGOs particularly useful. Unlike much literature to date, these authors describe a landscape where the simpler, more rigid, pre-Copenhagen world of G-77 versus the developed world no longer exists. This so-called Bali firewall of North against South gave way to a number of other alliances, highlighted by the BASIC states of Brazil, South Africa, India, and China "flexing muscles to keep open their international development space" in 2009. Despite imposing hurdles, the authors conclude that the UN process remains the "best hope," provided more strategic approaches integrate a grand coalition of civil society, states, and markets to advance a "radically different development" pathway. Summing Up: ** Recommended. All readership levels.--M. M. Gunter Jr., Rollins College
