Climate Change Negotiations
In December 2000, the United States (US) left the Kyoto Protocol on the grounds that it contained a number of fatal flaws (Chen 2003; Springer 2003; Springer and Varilek 2004).1 To many, this decision was just one of the manifestations of an enduring conflict between the US and the European Union (EU) (see e.g. Christiansen 2003, Torvanger et al. 2004, Tjernshaugen 2005). This chapter seeks to infer the main lessons of this conflict so that the f…
NGOs in WTO Talks
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have remained outside all the GATT rounds since the 1950s. In contrast, hundreds of NGOs have taken part in the current WTO round. This article maps the formal participation of NGOs in five ministerial conferences during the Doha round. It also analyzes various forms of NGO involvement in the WTO trade talks, such as lobbying and capacity-building of developing countries. An assessment of the current and pote…
Negotiated Risks
"This book fills a major gap in the risk literature, as it brings together two research strands: risks, to which IIASA's research programs have contributed significantly over the years, culminating in the Risk and Vulnerability Program, and international negotiations, on which there is an abundance of published work, much of it resulting from the work of IIASA's Processes of International Negotiations Program." "Throughout the book, it is pointed…
Global Challenges
The EU Negotiates Climate Change
The European Union (EU) is the only great power that has decisively promoted an international agreement requiring substansive emission reductions. It is possible that EU diplomacy has contributed to producing the inadequate but still encouraging results obtained in Kyoto. Although the 1997 UN conference in Kyoto produced an agreement to the effect that industrialized countries would collectively reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases by more …
Nordic and World Economic-Political Cooperation
The world economic-political system seems to be in a process of structural change. To some observers these developments are producing an increasing need for an expanded Nordic cooperation in the area of trade and international economic affairs. One manifestation of this has been the calls for the establishment of a true home market for Scandinavian exporting firms. The desirable, or predicted, future changes in forms and contents of Nordic cooper…
Determinants of a 'Segmented' International Power Structure
The Exercise of International Civil Power
The words 'power' and 'influence' are unusually frequent in literature on international politics, but despite this, these terms represent an area where intensified research still seems necessary. Power is too often considered synonymous with military power, and so certain aspects of international power have been neglected. There is little known about how power is exercised by means of non-coercive methods through the exploita tion of a non-milita…
