Title: Re: Green "identity" of states?
I too agree that identity (or image) should not be confused with effectiveness (or impact). Building on what Stacy was saying, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, for example, has a very strong sense of Muslim identity, but by any count is not very ‘Islam

This is fascinating stuff. I do not have an answer to the original question (on literature) but it does strike me that at some point we might want to distinguish between ‘image’ and ’identity’.

I back Matthew on this choice of reading. An advantage of Dryzek et

Norway.

Following Leonard's note, I should elaborate briefly on Costa Rica's green

Just FYI -- though I like Stacy's suggestion for GEP collectively to do
empirical research, what my student is looking for is people who are
writing about the concept of states developing (and acting upon) green
identities. She's already got her research project (it's on river
agreements) and she
Costa Rica has sold to all of us a green identity--it would be perhaps
instructive to see if:
1-the people there agree and what does it mean to them and their behaviors;
and
2-how much of it is salespersonship--ie does the rubber hit the road.
Bhutan would be another one to look at.

I agree with Paul.
However, I think we should all meet in Costa Rica to confirm this
