*Geoengineering: A New Arena of International Politics*

Olaf Corry, Nikolaj Kornbech

*Abstract*
This chapter introduces geoengineering as a new arena of international
politics and explains why hopeful technical explorations of alternative
climate strategies have not properly factored in the international. It asks
how international politics might affect potential development and
deployment of geoengineering techniques, and conversely how their emergence
could change the international system itself, introducing new dilemmas and
modes of interaction characteristic of the Anthropocene. Throughout, the
chapter draws on two high-profile areas of geoengineering research,
stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and bioenergy with carbon capture and
storage (BECCS), to illustrate some of the issues that geoengineering poses
for International Relations (IR), both theoretically and in practice. The
chapter proceeds via three sections addressing three key questions. First,
what are geoengineering technologies? Second, why has the international not
been factored in properly? Third, how might global climate intervention
interact with the international? It concludes with a consideration of what
‘the international’ implies for theorising IR in the ‘Anthropocene’ more
widely.
