Climate change is increasingly a part of the human experience. As the problem worsens, the cooperative dilemma that the issue carries has become evident: climate change is a complex problem that systematically gets insufficient answers from the international system.

This book offers an assessment of Brazils role in the global political economy of climate change. The authors, Eduardo Viola and Matķas Franchini expertly review and answer the most common and widely cited questions on whether and in which way Brazil is aggravating or mitigating the climate crisis, including: Is it the benign, cooperative, environmental power that the Brazilian government claims it is? Why was it possible to dramatically reduce deforestation in the Amazon (2005-2010) and, more recently, was there a partial reversion?

The book provides an accessibleand much neededintroduction to all those studying the challenges of the international system in the Anthropocene. Through a thorough analysis of Brazil in perspective vis a vis other emerging countries, this book provides an engaging introduction and up to date assessment of the climate reality of Brazil and a framework to analyze the climate performance of major economies, both on emission trajectory and policy profile: the climate commitment approach. Brazil and Climate Change is essential reading for all students of Environmental Studies, Latin American Studies, International Relations and Comparative Politics.

Recenzijos

'In this landmark book, Eduardo Viola and Matķas Franchini show convincingly that a countrys climate action commitment goes well beyond its participation in international negotiations, touching its whole political economy. The book offers an analytical framework that is useful for comparative analysis of the climate action of countries around the world, as well as providing significant new information and insight on the changing political economy of Brazil's climate commitment.' - Kathryn Hochstetler, London School of Economics and Political Science 'Throughout much of his distinguished academic career, Eduardo Viola has been one of the global pioneers in studying the politics of climate change. In Brazil and Climate Change, Viola teams up with Matķas Franchini to produce a major book on one of the worlds most important countries and one of its most important issues.' - Scott Mainwaring, Harvard University

'Which is the 'real' Brazil? In this book, Eduardo Viola and Matias Francini 'discard any possibility' of answering that question through a parsimonous portrait. Instead they offer a fascinatingly rich analysis of emission and policy profiles as, at best, partly connected domains, and of Brazil's contributions to global climate regime-building as products of complex two-level games.' - Arild Underdal, University of Oslo and CICERO
