""Dealing with global climate change will pose major issues for the international community and will require unprecedented international cooperation. These issues and efforts to obtain cooperation are certain to be salient in debates about international public policy for many years to come. This debate will be more sophisticated and more likely to yield good results if illuminated by the advances that have been made in international relations theory, and international relations theory will be enriched by being engaged in the debate. This book makes vital contributions to both objectives."" --Harold K. Jacobson, Jesse Siddal Reeves Professor of Political Science and Senior Research Scientist, Center for Political Studies, University of Michigan
