It took nearly sixty years for a meaningful climate change bill to run the political gauntlet from Capitol Hill to the Oval Office. Why? From mavericks to party standard-bearers, U.S. Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and presidential candidates have campaigned for four decades espousing their intentions to address the impacts of climate change. Glacial: The Inside Story of Climate Politics is the first Inside-the-Beltway account to lay bare the machinations of what went wrong in Washington—how and why our leaders failed to act on climate change as mounting scientific evidence underscored the urgency to do so. Glacial tells a story of behind-the-scenes infighting and power struggles that blocked or derailed federal legislative progress on climate change, even in times of bipartisanship and with polls showing most Americans favored action. The good news today is that public opinion is at its highest level of support for climate action, from corporate boardrooms embracing sustainability for business reasons to movements led by passionate younger generations who can't afford to stand mute because it is they who will inherit the worst environmental catastrophes. If the missed opportunities in Washington are instructive, the path to doing so is clear. Our elected officials must use their offices not solely for the power and prestige it bestows upon them personally, but for the public good—and they must do so while there is still time.

As the climate emergency intensifies, rights-based climate cases – litigation that is based on human rights law – are becoming an increasingly important tool for securing more ambitious climate action. This book is the first to offer a systematic analysis of the universe of these cases known as human rights and climate change (HRCC) cases. By combining theory, empirical documentation, and strategic debate among preeminent scholars and practitioners from around the world, the book captures the roots, legal innovations, empirical richness, impact, and challenges of this dynamic field of sociolegal practice. It looks specifically at the sociolegal origins and trajectory of HRCC cases, the legal innovations of this type of litigation, and the strategies and impacts of these cases. In doing so, this book equips litigators, researchers, practitioners, students, and concerned citizens with an understanding of an important method of holding governments and corporations accountable for climate harms. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

A deeply researched, fully updated edition of The National Security Constitution that explores the growing imbalance of institutional powers in American foreign affairs and national security policy Since the beginning of the American Republic, a package of norms has evolved in the U.S. Constitution to protect the operation of checks and balances in national security policy. This “National Security Constitution” promotes shared powers and balanced institutional participation in foreign policymaking. Today it is under attack from a competing claim of executive unilateralism generated by recurrent patterns of presidential activism, congressional passivity, and judicial tolerance. This dynamic has pushed presidents of both parties to press the limits of law in foreign affairs. In his award-winning National Security Constitution (1990), Harold Hongju Koh traced the evolution of this constitutional struggle across America’s history. This new book, based on the earlier volume but with roughly 70 percent new material, brings the story to the present, placing recent events into constitutional perspective. Reviewing the presidencies of the twenty-first century, he explains why modern national security threats have given presidents of both parties incentives to monopolize foreign policy decision-making, Congress incentives to defer, and the courts reasons to rubber-stamp. Koh suggests both a workable strategy and crucial prescriptions to restore the balance of our constitutional order in addressing modern global crises.

The international community is not taking the action necessary to avert dangerous increases in greenhouse gases. Facing a potentially bleak future, the question that confronts humanity is whether the best of bad alternatives may be to counter global warming through human-engineered climate interventions. In this book, eleven prominent authorities on climate change consider the legal, policy and philosophical issues presented by geoengineering. The book asks: when, if ever, are decisions to embark on potentially risky climate modification projects justified? If such decisions can be justified, in a world without a central governing authority, who should authorize such projects and by what moral and legal right? If states or private actors undertake geoengineering ventures absent the blessing of the international community, what recourse do the rest of us have?

A medida que la crisis climática se intensifica, científicos, activistas, abogados, investigadores y movimientos sociales ensayan respuestas literalmente contra reloj. Entre ellas, una herramienta específica está ganando impulso en todo el mundo: el litigio ante cortes nacionales o internacionales por las consecuencias del calentamiento global. Este libro, pensado y escrito durante la pandemia de coronavirus, pone el foco en las acciones judiciales desde una perspectiva original e inspiradora, vinculando dos campos que hasta hace pocos años, por extraño que parezca, circulaban por carriles paralelos: las cuestiones climáticas y los derechos humanos. Porque recién a partir de mediados de la década pasada las demandas legales pusieron al descubierto el impacto de inundaciones, incendios u olas de calor sobre derechos básicos como la vida, la salud y la integridad física de las personas, o el derecho a la vivienda de quienes se ven forzados a convertirse en refugiados climáticos por eventos extremos. Así, Litigar la emergencia climática explora en profundidad este auténtico "giro de los derechos" que se afianza cada vez más. Atentos a experiencias y narrativas tanto del Sur como del Norte globales, los destacados especialistas comprometidos en este libro ofrecen una visión sistemática de los litigios de cambio climático y analizan las oportunidades y los retos que plantean para la acción climática y los derechos humanos. Examinan las estrategias judiciales más eficaces y las lecciones que pueden extraerse de ellas para futuras demandas y activismos; se preguntan qué ideas y desarrollos del campo científico pueden aplicarse de forma útil para medir y controlar las obligaciones de mitigación de empresas o Estados en la generación de gases de efecto invernadero; analizan qué tipo de litigios pueden alcanzar una escala acorde a la urgencia de este tiempo, cuáles son los costos de litigar contra gobiernos y grandes corporaciones de combustibles fósiles, y cómo elaborar argumentos y estrategias sólidas que puedan sostenerse ante la justicia. Con actualizada evidencia empírica y un despliegue conceptual que busca abrir discusiones, este libro aborda el principal desafío del siglo XXI, el que compromete el derecho de las y los jóvenes y de las generaciones futuras a un planeta habitable y a una vida digna.

The Rise And Fall Of Neoliberal Capitalism written by David M. Kotz and has been published by Harvard University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017 with Business & Economics categories.
The financial and economic collapse that began in the United States in 2008 and spread to the rest of the world continues to burden the global economy. David Kotz, who was one of the few academic economists to predict it, argues that the ongoing economic crisis is not simply the aftermath of financial panic and an unusually severe recession but instead is a structural crisis of neoliberal, or free-market, capitalism. Consequently, continuing stagnation cannot be resolved by policy measures alone. It requires major institutional restructuring. "Kotz's book will reward careful study by everyone interested in the question of stages in the history of capitalism." --Edwin Dickens, Science & Society "Whereas others] suggest that the downfall of the postwar system in Europe and the United States is the result of the triumph of ideas, Kotz argues persuasively that it is actually the result of the exercise of power by those who benefit from the capitalist economic organization of society. The analysis and evidence he brings to bear in support of the role of power exercised by business and political leaders is a most valuable aspect of this book--one among many important contributions to our knowledge that makes it worthwhile." --Michael Meeropol, Challenge
