About this book
Provides a challenging explanation of the forces that have shaped the international global warming debate, concentrating on how non-state actors, such as scientific, environmental and industry groups, as opposed to governmental organisations, affect political outcomes in global fora on climate change. It also provides insights into the role of the media in influencing the agenda.
