Journalists, diplomats and aid workers struggled to find a way to make sense of the bloodshed. Johan Pottier's troubling study shows that the post-genocide regime in Rwanda was able to impose a simple yet persuasive account of Central Africa's crises upon international commentators new to the region, and he explains the ideological underpinnings of this official narrative. He also provides a sobering analysis of the way in which this simple, persuasive, but fatally misleading analysis of the situation on the ground led to policy errors that exacerbated the original crisis. Professor Pottier has extensive field experience in the region, from before and after the genocide, and he has also worked among refugees in eastern Zaire. 410 0$aAfrican studies series ;$v102. 607 $aRwanda$xHistory$yCivil War, 1994 607 $aRwanda$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 676 $a967.571 700 $aPottier$b Johan$0688446 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783121303321 996 $aRe-imagining Rwanda$91236015 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05247nam 22007935 450 001 9910483176003321 005 20200919231430.0 010 $a3-319-17500-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-17500-3 035 $a(CKB)3710000000394689 035 $a(EBL)2094736 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001501440 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11854466 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001501440 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11524632 035 $a(PQKB)11730653 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-17500-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2094736 035 $a(PPN)185486207 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000394689 100 $a20150408d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDivergence and Convergence of Automobile Fuel Economy Regulations $eA Comparative Analysis of EU, Japan and the US /$fby Masahiko Iguchi 205 $a1st ed. 2015. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (162 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-319-17499-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aChapter 1: introduction -- Chapter 2: Business actors in global environmental governance -- Chapter 3: Construction of European fuel economy regulations for passenger cars -- Chapter 4: Construction of Japanese fuel economy regulations for passenger cars -- Chapter 5: Construction of the US fuel economy regulations for passenger cars -- Chapter 6: Comparative assessment -- Chapter 7: Conclusions. 330 $aThis book reveals the mechanisms underlying the convergence of car fuel economy regulations in Europe, Japan and the US by drawing upon a constructivist theory of International Relations and law that focuses on business competition and environmental regulations. It offers new understanding of the topic of cars and an issue of climate change, discussing the emerging phenomenon of convergence of fuel economy regulations; addressing the role of business actors in pushing for climate change action; proposing the new model of agency with and beyond states; and providing insightful case studies from Europe, Japan and the US. The opening chapter reviews the automobile industry and global climate change, providing a background for the discussion to follow. Chapter 2, Business Actors and Global Environmental Governance, grounds the discussion in the field of environmental governance. The third chapter is a case study examining the construction and timing of the European Union's climate policies for automobile CO2 emissions, discussing the underlying factors and the actors influencing the policies. The following chapter argues that Japan adopted its stringent fuel economy regulations primarily because of industry competitiveness, motivated by stringent environmental regulations in export markets and encouraged by a tradition of ?co-regulation? and ?corporatism? to enhance the regulations. Chapter 5 asks why the US, the first country to introduce fuel economy regulations, spent two decades in regulatory stagnation, and discusses how recent US fuel economy regulations came to converge with Japanese and European standards. Chapter 6 compares, contrasts and analyzes fuel economy regulations among the three case studies, and identifies policy implications for the future climate governance for 2015 and beyond. The final chapter explores applicability of the ?agency with and beyond the state? model to other sectors, and to climate governance as a whole. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aEconomics 606 $aComparative government 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 606 $aComparative Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 14$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 676 $a300 676 $a320 676 $a327 676 $a339.5 676 $a344.046 676 $a36370561 676 $a577.27 700 $aIguchi$b Masahiko$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01225714 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483176003321 996 $aDivergence and Convergence of Automobile Fuel Economy Regulations$92845822 997 $aUNINA
