'Accessibly and engagingly written, this book expertly guides the reader through the complex world of climate politics, combining interdisciplinary theoretical insights and astute empirical observations to show how and why we have to place politics centrally in understanding societal responses to the threat of climate change.' Peter Newell, University of Sussex, author of Power Shift and States of Transition 'Caroline Kuzemko marvelously draws on international political economy, sociotechnical transitions and public policy to show why mitigation politics have remained poorly understood in the past, and why politicisation is key for designing effective policies going forward. This book is an indispensable read for scholars of climate politics and anyone who takes an interest in fighting dangerous climate change.' Andreas Goldthau, University of Erfurt 'Richly referenced, and with insightful summary tables, this book deftly parses the political qualities of mitigation and its relation to policy. Caroline Kuzemko highlights the breadth of positions on mitigation, revealing a dynamic and contested field beyond familiar appeals to 'follow the science'. Rather than keep politics at bay, she shows why policymakers should embrace the politicisation of climate to ensure a successful long-term response to climate change.' Gavin Bridge, Durham University
