Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores global environmental negotiations against the backdrop of complex political relations, the climate change conventions, and multilateral environmental assessments and their effect on special interest groups. It weaves in the story of India's emergent economy, its sustainable development, and the multifaceted nationhood, the diversity of its rural scene, and the challenges of seamlessness brought in by the power of its information technology. Viewing global environmental movements, the book discusses the pattern of global negotiations from the environmental summit capitals of the world—Rio, Kyoto, Cartagena, Bonn, Stockholm, Montreal, Geneva, Basel, and Copenhagen among others to graphically portray the plight of a postmodern world that grapples with the problems of climate, land degradation, chemical transfers, and biodiversity.
