Yet, each country experiences these losses differently, and reaching even inadequate political agreements is fraught with contestation. \u003cem\u003eGoverning the End\u003c\/em\u003e untangles the complex relationship between deteriorating environmental conditions, high politics, and everyday diplomatic practices, focusing on the United Nations' agreement to address \"loss and damage\" and subsequent battles over implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLisa Vanhala looks at the differing assumptions and strategic framings that poor and rich countries bring to bear and asks why some norms emerge and diffuse while others fail to do so. \u003cem\u003eGoverning the End\u003c\/em\u003e is based on ethnographic observation of eight years of UN meetings and negotiations and more than one hundred and fifty interviews with diplomats, policymakers, UN secretariat staff, experts, and activists. It explores explicit political contestation, as well as the more clandestine politics that have stymied implementation and substantially reduced the scope of compensation to poor countries. In doing so, \u003cem\u003eGoverning the End\u003c\/em\u003e elucidates the successes and failures of international climate governance, revealing the importance of how ideas are constructed and then institutionally embodied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871401300204,"sku":"9780226842974","price":113.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20658023482268.jpg?v=1759877526"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/lisa-vanhala.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
