Failure-proof or failure-prone? The paradoxes of global biodiversity institutions | Review of International Studies | Cambridge Core Failure-proof or failure-prone? The paradoxes of global biodiversity institutions

Why do global environmental institutions multiply and persist even when they seem unable to address biodiversity loss and environmental governance failures effectively?

Our new OA article with @jacquelinebest.bsky.social in @risjnl.bsky.social tries to answer this question. 1/7

🏔️While local skiing infrastructure is argued to sustain the tradition of skiing - the past - for future populations, high-altitude resorts seek to sustain established economic independence and wealth prospectively as climate changes ⛰️

🏞️ Sustainability acts as the key frame for these visions of the future, however, differently than one would expect - we find competing visions of sustainabilities for the future 🏂

🗻 To reproduce an existing regional path through skiing infrastructure expansion under adverse conditions, actors have to articulate the past through the construction of a vision for the future, which directly respond to key issues mobilised by voices from the opposition 📣

⛷️ Theoretically, I argue that it is not enough to look at infrastructural lock-ins to understand regional path dependencies - instead, it is regional actors have to engage in temporal bridging work 🕰️
