Signed: __________________________________________________________ Wytze van der Gaast, Ph.D. Member of dissertation committee ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation could not have been completed without the unwavering support by my committee members. I sincerely thank the dedication shown by Dr. Byrne, Dr. Wang, Dr. Jepma, and Dr. van der Gaast to see this project through to the end. In particular, the long discussions and engaging conversations held with Dr. Byrne have strengthened the narrative of the dissertation substantially and helped to keep me on track for which I am deeply thankful. I additionally would like to thank the remaining CEEP faculty for their instructions and guidance throughout my four years here at CEEP. However, a project of this size and duration necessitates a broader support network. Fortunately, I could not have been more blessed as I am surrounded by sources of inspiration and support. My beautiful girlfriend Laura consistently helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel and her strong academic and social skills were a great source of support and distraction when in need of either. Weekly Sunday phone calls with my mom and dad helped me understand any problem I might encounter in this new culture by offering typical Dutch down-to-earth advice and guidance. Being the youngest in a family of strong academic performance, my brother and sisters provide inspiration as they lead by example. I consider myself lucky if I do only half as well as they are doing. Finally, my social network here in the U.S. as well as in the Netherlands provided sometimes much needed distraction and engaging talks about the future. Thank you, all. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................... xii LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................... xvi ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................. xxiii Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION .............................................................................................. 1 1.1 The Challenge of Climate Change ............................................................ 3 1.1.1 Negotiating Climate Change Policy: a Multi-decadal Endeavour ...................................................................................... 3 1.1.1.1 Pre-1992: The Early Days of Negotiations .................... 4 1.1.1.2 1992: The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) ........................................... 5 1.1.1.3 The Kyoto Protocol ...................................................... 11 1.1.1.4 Securing a Post-Kyoto Agreement ............................... 14 1.1.1.5 $)DLOXUHWR³6HDOWKH'HDO´ ......................................... 15 1.1.1.6 Recovery IURP&RSHQKDJHQ¶V)DLOXUH .......................... 17 1.1.2 A Characterology of Climate Change Action ............................. 21 1.1.2.1 Climate Change Action Principles ............................... 22 1.1.2.2 Top-Down Negotiation Framework ............................. 26 1.1.2.3 Targets-and-Timetables Approach ............................... 28 1.1.2.4 Short-Term Focus ......................................................... 29 1.1.2.5 Commodity-Based Policy Measures ............................ 29 1.1.2.6 Big Bang Approach ...................................................... 31 1.1.2.7 7KH.\RWR(UDµ)RUPXODRI6XFFHVV¶ ........................... 32 1.1.3 Examples of Climate Action ....................................................... 32 1.1.3.1 The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and carbon market trading ................................................... 32 1.1.3.2 Decoupling of Economic Activity and Carbon Emissions ...................................................................... 34 1.1.3.3 Bringing down competitive costs ................................. 35 1.1.3.4 3XUVXLWRIWKHµ*UHHQVKLIW¶ ............................................ 37 1.2 A Different Path?

  • Human Security and Mutual Vulnerability an Exploration Into the Global Political Economy of Development and Underdevelopment (1St Edition)
    Human Security and Mutual Vulnerability An Exploration into the Global Political Economy of Development and Underdevelopment (1st edition) by Jorge Nef IDRC 1995, 110 pp., ISBN 0-88936-795-7 Jorge Nef responds to one of the most pressing intellectual challenges of the post-Cold War era: the search for an analytical framework that will help us understand this turbulent and chaotic period in human history. His lucid and visionary analysis rests on the concept of mutual vulnerability: that in an increasingly interdependent world, global security is only as strong as the weakest link in the chain. The Author Jorge Nef, PhD, is currently professor of political studies and international development at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. He has been a visiting professor both in Canadian and foreign universities and institutes and is a past president of the Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS). Professor Nef is a Fellow of the Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC) and the Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS), both at York University. In addition, he is currently the Editor of the Canadian Joumal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies. His numerous publications, including books, journal articles, and book chapters, deal with development issues, food security, terrorism, ethics and technology, comparative public administration, authoritarian regimes, social theory, international relations and Latin American politics. Professor Nef has worked as a consultant or cooperant with various national and international agencies in the field of international development (UN- PAHO, CIDA, and IDRC). He also represented IDRC as Canadian delegate to the Expert Groups of the South Commission in Geneva in 1989.
