Description
Why have many U.S. administrations focused so explicitly on technology in their climate policy approaches? What enabled the Bush administration to justify its vehement opposition to absolute emissions targets with a longer-term technological vision? This volume argues that the administration"s strategy can only be understood by considering cultural conceptions of technology and the environment that have developed over centuries and are deeply embedded in American environmental thought.

Reviews
»Durch die explizite methodische Verortung der Abhandlung zwischen Cultural Studies und Policy-Analyse gelingt es Schniering, längerfristige gesellschaftliche Konstanten zu beleuchten. Er leistet somit einen Beitrag dazu, die einseitige analytische Fixierung auf die Personen zu verringern, die die Programme tragen.«
