Dear GEPeders, Thank you very much to those who responded to my query. My students are very appreciative. As is customary, I attach a list of responses where there are specific references included. In some cases, folks responded with forthcoming material, in which case I refer to it below but do not attach.
Best, Steven Steven, There is a very serious analysis, if more historical (but therefore excellent for background) by Peter Christoff (generally worth looking out for) in Eckersley and Barry's 'The State and Global Ecological Crisis' (MIT press) Charlotte Epstein Sydney University >From Armin Rosencranz, a reference to a chapter on Australia in Schneider, Rosencranz and Mastrandrea, CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE AND POLICY, forthcoming. Dear Steven, I have not written much myself, but I have edited three books with chapters on Japan. You can find a list at my department's website (below). Best regards, Paul Harris http://www.ln.edu.hk/polsci/ http://www.ln.edu.hk/projects/ecfp/Home [From Mat Paterson] Peter Christoff has written a few things on Australian climate policy - www.sages.unimelb.edu.au/staff/christoff.html >From Kathryn Harrison (and others also mentioned) The November issue of Global Environmental Politics is a special issue, edited by Kathryn Harrison and Lisa Sundstrom on the climate change politics of the Annex 1 countries (with country specific reports). [From Miranda Schreurs] There is lots of good work on Japan: Ohta Hiroshi, Yasuko Kameyama, Hidefumi Imura, just to name a few. I've written quite a bit about Japanese climate change politics. In addition to a piece in GEP by Yves Tiberghien and myself on Japan's Kyoto Protocol politics, here are a few others: ^Japan in the Greenhouse: the Challenge of Addressing Rising Emissions,^ in Brendan Barrett, ed., /Ecological Modernisation in Japan/ (London, UK: Routledge, 2005), pp. 148-65. ^The Climate Change Divide: The European Union, the United States, and the Future of the Kyoto Protocol,^ in Norman J. Vig and Michaele Faure, eds., /Green Giants? Environmental Policy of the United States and the European Union/ (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2004), pp. 207-30. > > > Steven Bernstein wrote: > > Dear GEPeders, > > > > I am having my students do a climate chage simulation and a couple are > > having trouble finding good recent analyses of the policies of Japan and > > Australia (domestic or foreign policy).
