The Bush Administration's climate proposal : rhetoric and reality ?
Résumé
The paper examines the Bush Administration's climate mitigation proposal.
The Bush Administration'swait-and-see policy reflects some fundamental aspects of the U.S. governance of its economy, such as the pressure of specific interest groups, the unilateralism of the country, the reluctance to governmental intervention, and the trust in technology to drive U.S. economic growth. Considering the current unilateralist approach adopted by the United States, international pressure may not contribute much to driving them to decide on mitigation actions. If the emerging domestic pressure from states, corporations and civil society becomes a groundswell, the federal government may take the reins.
