Talking Democracy at the United Nations
Author: Sophie EisentrautPublisher: Nomos Verlag
ISBN: 3748909349
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Rechtmäßige Herrschaft auf internationaler Ebene verlangt zunehmend die Einhaltung demokratischer Standards. Das zumindest suggeriert die Prominenz des Demokratiebegriffs in den Reformdebatten internationaler Organisationen. Auf Basis eines neuen Datensatzes, der ein Jahrzehnt Demokratiediskurs von 159 Staaten über den UN-Sicherheitsrat und die UN Generalversammlung abdeckt, liefert das Buch wichtige Einblicke in das Narrativ vom demokratischen Regieren jenseits des Staates, seine Merkmale und seine Funktionsweise. Die Befunde befruchten nicht nur die Forschung zu empirischer Legitimität, Normkontestation und globaler Demokratie. In einer Zeit, in der ideologischer Wettbewerb auf dem Vormarsch ist, zeugen sie auch von der Kraft der demokratischen Idee.

The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change
Author: Vesselin PopovskiPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351815784
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
In December 2015, 196 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Paris Agreement, seen as a decisive landmark for global action to stop human- induced climate change. The Paris Agreement will replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2020, and it creates legally binding obligations on the parties, based on their own bottom-up voluntary commitments to implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The codification of the climate change regime has advanced well, but the implementation of it remains uncertain. This book focuses on the implementation prospects of the Agreement, which is a challenge for all and will require a fully comprehensive burden- sharing framework. Parties need to meet their own NDCs, but also to finance and transfer technology to others who do not have enough. How equity- based and facilitative the process will be, is of crucial importance. The volume examines a broad range of issues including the lessons that can be learnt from the implementation of previous environmental legal regimes, climate policies at national and sub-national levels and whether the implementation mechanisms in the Paris Agreement are likely to be sufficient. Written by leading experts and practitioners, the book diagnoses the gaps and lays the ground for future exploration of implementation options. This collection will be of interest to policy-makers, academics, practitioners, students and researchers focusing on climate change governance.
