China And Great Power Responsibility For Climate Change First Edition Sanna Kopra by Sanna Kopra instant download after payment.

As American leadership over climate change declines, China has begun to
identify itself as a great power by formulating ambitious climate policies.
Based on the premise that great powers have unique responsibilities, this
book explores how China’s rise to great power status transforms notions of
great power responsibility in general and international climate politics in
particular. The author looks empirically at the Chinese party-state’s conceptions
of state responsibility, discusses the influence of those notions on
China’s role in international climate politics, and considers both how China
will act out its climate responsibility in the future and the broader implications
of these actions. Alongside the argument that the international norm of
climate responsibility is an emerging attribute of great power responsibility,
Kopra develops a normative framework of great power responsibility to shed
new light on the transformations China’s rise will yield and the kind of great
power China will prove to be.
The book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations,
China studies, foreign policy studies, international organizations, international
ethics and environmental politics.
