"Climate Diplomacy and Emerging Economies" by Dhanasree Jayaram analyzes the role of the BASIC countries (Brazil, South Africa, India, and China) in the international climate order, focusing on the time period between the 2009 and 2019 climate summits. The author explores the collective and individual positions of these countries towards climate diplomacy, examining the drivers behind their climate-related policies and the factors that shape the climate diplomacy agenda at multilateral, bilateral, and other levels. The book also provides a case study of India, analyzing the shifts in its climate diplomacy by looking at how climate change is framed, the variations in perceptions of its causes and solutions, and the motivations and methods used to achieve climate action goals. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of climate change, environmental policy and politics, and International Relations.
