New open access book: Stability and Politicization in Climate Governance
When it comes to climate change ... is it better to ‘lock in’ steady, long-term policies, or do we need dramatic political conflict and protests to force real change?
“To truly tackle climate change, we need to create policy spaces that welcome and support everyone, especially communities often left out of the debate” Dr Paul Tobin
Stability an Politicization in Climate Governance co-edited by Dr Paul Tobin and Professor Matthew Paterson - leading experts from The University of Manchester - alongside Professor Stacy D. VanDeveer from UMass Boston, USA.
