Climate Change and Small Island States: Power, Knowledge and the South Pacific
by John Campbell (9781844074945)

Small island developing states are often depicted as being among the most vulnerable of all places to the effects of climate change, and they are a cause clbre of many involved in climate science, politics and the media. Yet despite this the scientific knowledge and policies needed to protect the rights of these nations and their people have been slow to appear. This book, the first to apply a critical approach to science and policy processes in the South Pacific region, shows how groups within politically and scientifically powerful countries appropriate the issue of island vulnerability in ways that do not do justice to the lives of island people.
