Patrick Laurency beschreibt das UN-Klimaschutzregime als wirkungsschwach und zeitgleich veränderungsresistent. Anhand rationalistischer wie auch institutionalistischer Theorieansätze untermauert er die Hypothese, dass wirkungsschwache Politiken gerade eine notwendige bzw. stark begünstigende Bedingung für die Realisierung von Nutzenvorteilen sein können, die oftmals mit Klimaschutz nur wenig zu tun haben. Erfolge im Scheitern internationaler Klimapolitik ergeben sich nicht nur für Klimaskeptiker. Paradoxerweise können auch ‚grüne‘ Akteure aus wirkungsschwachen Mechanismen Nutzen erzielen – etwa in Form der Aufrechterhaltung ihres politischen Alleinstellungsmerkmals durch die Vermeidung von wirtschaftlicher Effizienz beim Klimaschutz.   Der Inhalt ·        Internationale Regime als Gegenstand der politikwissenschaftlichen Forschung ·        Das UN-Klimaschutzregime als Beispiel eines dauerhaft wirkungsschwachen internationalen Regimes ·        „Erfolgreiches Scheitern“ und „strategisches Scheitern“ ·        Die Stabilisierung funktionaler ineffektiver Verhandlungsergebnisse   Die Zielgruppen ·        Dozierende und Studierende der Politikwissenschaften ·        Umweltökonomen und Umweltpolitiker   Der Autor Dr. Patrick Laurency arbeitet u.a. als Lehrbeauftragter an der Deutschen Universität für Verwaltungswissenschaften Speyer.

"This book charts the framework and political evolution of the Kyoto Protocol negotiations and examines the ensuing failure of the international community to adequately address climate change. The focus is not on the science or consequences of climate change but on the political gamesmanship of the major players throughout the UNFCCC negotiation process"-- "Carbon Politics and the Failure of Kyoto charts the framework and political evolution of the Kyoto Protocol negotiations and examines the ensuing failure of the international community to adequately address climate change. The focus is not on the science or consequences of climate change but on the political gamesmanship of the major players throughout the UNFCCC negotiation process. More than an updated history of the subject matter, this book provides a detailed study of the carbon targets which became the biggest influencing factor on the reaction of nations to Kyoto's binding agreements.The book provides an in-depth analysis of the leading nations' motives, including the US, China and Germany, in entering the negotiations, in particular, their economic interests. Despite the effort to combat climate change in politics that the negotiations represent, the book concludes that an agreement which requires almost 200 very different nations to agree on a single protocol is doomed to failure. The book offers a novel contribution to our understanding of this failure and suggests alternative frameworks and policies to tackle what is arguably the most complex political issue of our time"--

"In light of the recent argument that rapid economic growth in Russia over the next decade might result in emissions higher than the Kyoto target, thereby putting much-needed growth at risk, Lecocq and Shalizi revisit the discussion on the costs and benefits of ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by Russia. They conclude that even under a very high economic growth assumption, and even under very conservative assumptions about the decoupling between carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth, Russia still benefits from a net surplus of emissions allowances, and thus will not see its growth adversely affected by the Kyoto target. In addition, a review of the possible costs and benefits of the Kyoto Protocol suggests that the potential sale of excess allowances far outweighs the other costs. This paper--a product of the Infrastructure and Environment Team, Development Research Group--is part of a larger effort in the group to analyze climate change mitigation and adaptation options"--World Bank web site.
