In a period of planetary crisis, this book shows how large-scale change occurs in global environmental politics.

Hosszú leírás:
As wildfires rage, pollution thickens, and species disappear, the world confronts environmental crisis with a set of global institutions in urgent need of reform. Yet, these institutions have proved frustratingly resistant to change.&&&160;Introducing the concept of Temporal Focal Points, Manulak shows how change occurs in world politics. By re-envisioning the role of timing and temporality in social relations, his analysis presents a new approach to understanding transformative phases in international cooperation.&&&160;We may now be entering such a phase, he argues, and global actors must be ready to realize the opportunities presented. Charting the often colorful and intensely political history of change in global environmental politics, this book sheds new light on the actors and institutions that shape humanity's response to planetary decline.&&&160;It will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of international relations, international organization and environmental politics and history.

'A stimulating and thoughtful contribution to our understanding of how great international decisions get taken.&&&160;Professor Manulak brings theory and sound historical analysis together to show how gradual change can culminate in decisive and surprising shifts. His work has valuable lessons for policy-makers dealing with climate change today.' Margaret MacMillan, Emeritus Professor of International History, University of Oxford
