The project in brief:

 

This part of the project conducts its research from the perspective of Political Economy and analyses possibilities of international regulation. Drawing on the concept of “Global Governance”, the project will analyse which uncertainties of political decisions are associated with climate engineering. The analysis of other problematic fields characterised by a similar degree of uncertainty aims at revealing how the international community has addressed other issue areas of this kind in the past. Additionally, it will show which factors have impeded successful regulation and which factors have stimulated regulation. The findings of this analysis will then allow drawing conclusions about successful regulation of climate engineering.
