Hayley Stevenson
I am Associate Professor and Director of Posgraduate Studies in International Relations at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
From 2012-2017, I was Lecturer, then Senior Lecturer, then Reader (Assoc Prof) in Politics and International Relations at the University of Sheffield, UK. Prior to this, I spent three years at the Australian National University as a postdoctoral fellow working with John S. Dryzek.
Between 2013 and 2016, I was an ESRC Future Research Leader (with a grant value of £247,000). I carried out a study of innovations in international environmental policy, focusing on the World Bank. This project analysed processes of institutional learning in the design of new environmental policies, and address challenges to including civil society and heterogeneous perspectives in policy design.
Between 2016 and 2019, I led a project with Professor James Meadowcroft called Ecosystem Services: Valuing Nature for Sustainable Development and a Green Economy. This includes a team of researchers in Australia, Canada, and the UK. Our aim was to understand how the idea of valuing nature has developed, been taken up into policy, and the implications of this for sustainability and justice. This project was funded by a grant of €800,000 from Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, The Wellcome Trust and VolkswagenStiftung.
In 2017 I published two new books: a single authored textbook called Global Environmental Politics: Problems, Policy, and Practice (Cambridge University Press), and an edited volume (with Olaf Corry) called Trends and Traditions in Global Environmental Politics: International Relations and the Earth (Routledge). The 2nd edition of my textbook is in preparation.
From 2017 to 2023, I wad editor of Political Studies (with Charles Pattie, Matt Sleat and Andrew Hindmoor).

of the major problems facing the world remain intractable. Against this
backdrop, we explore the prospects for a deliberative approach that puts
effective, inclusive, and transformative communication at the heart of global
governance. This approach can advance both democratic legitimacy and
effective problem-solving. Existing institutions such as multilateral negotiations, international organizations, regimes, governance networks, and scientific assessments can be rendered more deliberative and democratic. Such reforms can pave the way for more thoroughgoing transformations in the global order that could involve citizens’ assemblies, nested forums stretching from the local to the global, transnational citizens’ juries and other mini-publics, crowdsourcing, and a global dissent channel. Equally important, though less easily designed, is the deliberative role of global civil society. We show how different institutional and civil society elements can be linked to good effect in a global deliberative system. The capacity of deliberative institutions to revise their own structures and processes means that deliberative global governance is not just a framework but also a reconstructive learning process. We pay special attention to climate change, peacebuilding, and global poverty.

Traditions and Trends in Global Environmental Politics lays out key challenges in the global environmental crisis, but also provides a summary of how different traditions in IR have contributed. Each chapter explores an environmental issue and an approach within IR focusing in particular on the key trends of the past 20 years. In the process, adjacent fields including energy politics, science and technology and political economy are also touched on.
The volume is aimed at anybody interested in the key international environmental problems of the day, and those seeking clarification and inspiration in terms of approaches and theories that decode how the environment figures in global politics. It is an essential resource for students and scholars of Global Environmental Politics, Global Governance and IR as planet Earth enters the Anthropocene or ‘Age of Humans’.

political economy’ is very broad. In this chapter, you will first be introduced to mainstream and critical perspectives on the relationship between globalization and the environment (see Section 9.2). We will see how race and gender are implicated in the distribution of environmental harms,
and how clean and safe environments in the Global North often come at the expense of communities in the Global South. A case study of green technology reveals that this asymmetry also characterizes efforts to transition to more sustainable societies (see Case study 9.1). We then turn to the topic of global governance to see how environmental multilateralism has developed over the past five decades (see Section 9.3.1), and the tensions that remain between global rules on trade and the environment (see Section 9.3.2). A second case study on clashes between the United States and India in the World Trade Organization (WTO) reveals how tensions between local development priorities and liberal economic norms affect the shift to sustainable energy systems (see Case study 9.2).
This introduction first provides an overview of the recent rise of ‘the environment’ in international politics and offers an account of how this builds on older ways in which the natural world has made up part of the stuff of international politics. Secondly it surveys the main traditions and approaches to studying international relations of the environment, painting a picture of diversification in two senses: from the study of ‘environmental multilateralism’ towards a broader ‘global environmental politics’, and from ‘problem-solving’ to a greater diversity of ‘critical’ approaches, some of which originate in disciplines outside core IR territory. While the traditional problem-solving approaches have tended to treat the environment as just another issue for international-relations-as-usual, critical approaches have begun reflecting on the theoretical implications of taking environmentalism seriously (see also Eckersley 2013). Thirdly, the direction of enquiry is therefore reversed to ask, in effect, ‘what has the environment ever done for IR?’, before the plan for the rest of the book sketches the content and direction of the ensuing chapters that explore the problematique of International Relations and the Earth.
