Summary
The book argues that China and India's policy measures to address energy insecurity and climate change have been shaped at two levels. Domestically, both countries pursued fast economic growth for wealth maximization. At the international level, both countries burnished their great power status through global energy and climate governance.
Additional text
'It's hard to see how the world gets serious about the global warming problem without China and India at the center of the solution. This thoughtful new book by Fuzuo Wu unpacks and explains how domestic politics are shaping how these countries behave at home and abroad. Increasingly, the shape of international cooperation on global problems reflects what these nations are willing and able to implement at home, along with how they respond to pressure from other governments. This book helps us think more systematically about those multilevel processes and thus the future of collective action.' David Victor, University of California, San Diego
