A Climate for Change? Critical Reflections on the Durban United Nations Climate Change Conference
基于作者在2011年德班气候大会的参与观察，批判分析气候变化的政治经济学，探讨市场、国家与公民社会间的权力动态，以及中国和印度崛起带来的地缘政治变化。
Despite more than fifteen years of high level efforts led by the United Nations to broker a binding agreement on emissions reduction, negotiations at every annual meeting have failed to establish a global agreement, mainly due to significant disagreements between industrialized and developing countries over differentiated responsibilities in reducing emissions. In this paper I describe my experiences as a participant-observer at the 17th United Nations Climate Change summit held in Durban, South Africa, during December 2011. I provide a critical analysis of the political economy of climate change and discuss power dynamics between market, state and civil society actors as well as the shifting geopolitics that mark the emergence of China and India as major players in the climate change arena.
