Confronting climate change is now understood as a problem of 'decarbonising' the global economy: ending our dependence on carbon-based fossil fuels. This book explores whether such transformation underway, how it might be accelerated, and complex politics this process. Given dominance capitalism free-market ideologies, decarbonisation dependent creating carbon markets engaging powerful actors in world business finance. Climate Capitalism assesses huge political dilemmas poses, need to...

Assessments of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen December 2009 have tended to see it as a ‘return realism’ — triumph hard interstate bargaining over institutional or normative development about climate change.

These only...
Recent debates have drawn attention to the legitimacy challenges faced by new forms of global governance. Privatised governance in particular has come under considerable scrutiny. This paper attempts contribute this debate through an analysis widespread critiques climate that focus on its 'marketized' or 'privatized' character. Such fundamentally attempt delegitimise dominant mechanisms which can be collectively known as 'global carbon market'. The argues understand political dynamics...
The dynamics of climate change politics have thrown up two fundamental, and entirely contradictory, challenges for political economy in the last 10 years. On one hand, new science ‘net zero emissions’ has produced a growing recognition that world without fossil fuels is both absolutely necessary utterly transformative. other civilizational collapse (absolute declines human populations, food production systems, social institutions) now much more widely recognized as an plausible trajectory...
Greenhouse gas emissions trading (ET) systems have become the centerpiece of climate change policy at multiple scales, unexpectedly largely outside UN governance process. The diffusion ET is best described as a case polycentric diffusion, where diffused to loci governance, but they all serve similar goals under broad framework guided loosely by UN-based regime. Using network analysis combined with qualitative data, we explain how this pattern development emerged, who carried and spread it...
