• catalog abstract ""A crucial question in years to come will be how states can circumvent the obstacles to improving the current climate change, problem-solving regime. These obstacles may be related to the basically anarchic logic of the international political system, the self-serving and often short-sighted motivation of national decision-makers, and - in all probability - the high costs involved in mitigating the problem of climate change."--BOOK JACKET. "This book is not a blueprint for solving these problems, but by shedding light on the priorities and capabilities of critical political actors, on key issues relating to the state of climate change science, on the role of science in political decision-making, and on the necessity of legitimate and cost-effective abatement efforts, the contributors to this anthology seek to clarify some crucial epistemological and political conditions for developing a more efficient climate change, problem-solving regime. This is required if the recent predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on human-induced climate change are correct."--Jacket.".
