Ozone Discourses: Science and Politics in Global Environmental Cooperation

by Karen T. Liftin

How can scientific knowledge be translated into political change? Ozone Discourses examines the first case of successful, highly effective collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and activists: The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

Liftin argues that the discipline of international relations requires a broader conception of power in order to accommodate knowledge-based problems such as environmental degradation.
