[gep-ed] Diversity for your syllabus; plus a new article

2020-08-11 Thread Jeff Colgan 
Hi,Great to see all the sharing in this GEP community. In that spirit, and with this year’s Black Lives Matter resurgence in mind, you might be looking for some diverse perspectives on climate change. I’ve been working to capture some — from African-American, Australian aboriginal, East Asian, and voices from the Global South — on my new course syllabus, Politics of Climate Change. This course: (1) focuses on politics (not physical science), (2) is solution-centered (not ‘admiring the problem’), and (3) amplifies diverse voices. Syllabus attached - feel free to pilfer from it. Features lots of work from members of this list, too. I focused especially on readings from 2015 or later.Speaking of which, one of those pieces is "Asset Revaluation and the Existential Politics of Climate Change,” a new forthcoming article in International Organization by Jessica Green, Thomas Hale, and I. It’s available online now, for free, at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3634572

[gep-ed] New book on Climate and Energy Governance

2020-08-11 Thread Fariborz Zelli 
Dear colleagues,

we are excited to share our new volume on ‚Governing the Climate-Energy Nexus’ 
with Cambridge UP.

The book just came off the press and is open access; see here: 
https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/governing-the-climateenergy-nexus/87F5A10BD95C94B1245DF2F9CA5D00B5
See also the below for blurb and further info.

We would be grateful if you could spread the word and recommend this new volume 
as a reference for researchers, students policymakers and other stakeholders in 
climate change and energy politics.

Best wishes,
Fariborz Zelli, Karin Bäckstrand, Naghmeh Nasiritousi, Jakob Skovgaard and 
Oscar Widerberg


[Governing the Climate-Energy Nexus]

Combating climate change and transitioning to fossil-free energy are two 
central and interdependent challenges facing humanity today. Governing the 
nexus of these challenges is complex, and includes multiple intergovernmental 
and transnational institutions. This book analyses the governance interactions 
between such institutions, and explores their consequences for legitimacy and 
effectiveness.
We use a novel analytical framework to examine three specific policy fields 
within the climate-energy nexus: renewable energy, fossil fuel subsidy reform, 
and carbon pricing. These fields are compared in terms of their institutional 
memberships, governance functions and overarching norms.
Based on these analyses we develop policy recommendations for more legitimate 
and effective approaches at the intersection of climate and energy governance.
Apart from the editors (Fariborz Zelli, Karin Bäckstrand, Naghmeh Nasiritousi, 
Jakob Skovgaard, Oscar Widerberg), contributors include Jana Canavan, Philipp 
Pattberg, Lisa Sanderink, Harro van Asselt, Soetkin Verhagen and Cleo Verkuijl.
The volume summarises results of the international research project ‘ClimEnGo’ 
(‘Challenges and opportunities in a fragmented global Climate and Energy 
Governance’). The project was headed by Karin Bäckstrand and brought together 
colleagues from Stockholm University, Lund University, Vrije Universiteit 
Amsterdam, Stockholm Environment Institute and the University of Eastern 
Finland. We are grateful to the Swedish Energy Agency for their generous 
support of our research project.

Hello everyone,

The GEP-Ed community certainly delivered. Here is a list of the sources
people put forward. I've given everyone with the link the ability to
comment. So if there is more to add in any respect, please leave a comment
and I'll add the citation, text, etc.

A few people mentioned online simulations (and Beth and Ron's messages are
also in this vein). Is there interest in putting together a database of
such resources? I'm happy to set something up.

All the best,
Jen
