Hi everyone: When and if the ISA submission system actually works in the next 24 hours, I will be submitting a panel proposal but we still need a discussant.
Here's the abstract for the panel: Title: The Impact of Contestation over Relevant Knowledge on International Environmental Cooperation Abstract: The shift from 'environmental protection' to 'sustainability' overlaps in time with a general rise in contestation not only on the substance of particular policies and the differential impact of implementing them on different states or groups within states but also on what counts as scientific knowledge, how scientific knowledge becomes 'usable knowledge' that can be incorporated into policy processes, and whose knowledge is relevant to formulating and implementing policy. All of the debates about what is reliable scientific or other expert knowledge, how that knowledge becomes useful, and how it can be used to improve governance now central to improving global environmental governance have also been the subject of study and debate among scholars of philosophy of science, social studies of science, political science, sociology, economics, and policy studies. Those seeking to understand and improve international environmental governance for sustainability thus have many resources available.
