“…It seems that carbon-intensive societieswhich are under particular pressure to change lifestyles and the modes of economic welfare generation -extensively debate climate change and politics. The existing literature suggests that in these countries a large number of actors from various societal spheres, such as industry associations (Levy, 2005), environmental groups (Bryner, 2008), religious groups (Kearns, 2011;Wardekker et al, 2009), and labor unions (Daub, 2010) participate in public debates about climate governance. From the perspective of normative theories of democracy, especially deliberative democracy (Habermas, 2001, e.g.…”

Rational choice models are employed to explain both the formation of states' domestically derived negotiation positions on climate change and the dynamics of these international negotiations. This analysis leads to the identification of a number of promising political strategies: taking steps to enlarge the membership of environmental non-governmental organisations; assessing whether the resources of these organisations would be more effectively spent on campaign contributions rather than other activities; using organisations such as the World Bank to assist developing countries to strengthen civil society in these countries; stepping up information campaigns; re-balancing abatement costs between the EU and the US; and making abatement more efficient by introducing an international emissions cap and trade scheme.

“…Bryner 2008;Newell and Patterson 1998). Giving his study a broader aim, Newell (2000) looked into the behavior of four different non-state actors (the mass media, environmental pressure groups, the fossil fuel lobby, and Working Group 1 of the IPCC) and showed that it is easier for these groups to forward their interests by influencing states' positions through lobbying at the national level than by intervening directly during international negotiations.…”
