Climate Crisis

International relations scholarship on climate change exists primarily in the field of Global Environmental Politics (GEP) and outside the substantive purview of mainstream International Political Economy (IPE). This chapter argues that the climate crisis is fundamentally an IPE problem, and it requires attention from IPE scholars as a primary subject of interest. To facilitate engagement, the chapter reviews a diverse literature at the intersection of IPE and climate across three substantive areas: the global climate regime, trade, and renewable energy transitions. Each section offers avenues for research, and provides ideas on how to put concepts and ideas from IPE to work in climate crisis scholarship.

Climate Crisis

The climate crisis has led various prominent writers to call for greater reliance on experts. Not only have they called on experts for technical solutions, but also for a greater role in the policy decision processes. If central governments step in with strong measures, even more authoritarian forms of rule, the turn to technocratic experts will undoubtedly be a part of the strategy. The chapter seeks to sort out the issues and questions posed by this appeal to technical expertise. It begins by looking at the evolution of techno-managerial expertise in modern environmental politics, before examining the technocratic mode of reason and the depoliticization of the policymaking that it advocates. The discussion then moves from the realm of theory to examine specific contemporary technocratic arguments and concludes with a discussion of the nature of technocratic power.

Approach To Teaching

The teaching procedures that are commonly used with language-disordered children do not entirely match the goals that they are intended to achieve. By using a problem-solving approach to teaching language rules, the procedures and goals of language teaching become more harmonious. Such procedures allow a child to create a rule to solve a simple language problem created for the child by a clinician who understands the conditions that control the operation of a rule.
