The Politics of Knowledge and Global Biodiversity (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The establishment of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) points to the crucial role attributed to science and knowledge for the successful implementation of biodiversity politics by both scientists and policy-makers. This book gives a full overview of the process of its implementation as finalised in 2013 and proposes an innovative conceptual framework that puts this specific case into a more general perspective of international politics and relations.

Rezensionen

This amount on the history of tortuous paths taken by the negotiations of IPBES is extremely well documented for all that relates to the international stage. The theoretical development of concern highlighted by the use of the concept of epistemic selectivity does not affect its main merit fulfilling the thankless task of clearing of a field of international action through the social sciences, almost in time real. - Florian Charvolin
