Productivity and the Pandemic : challenges and insights from covid-19 / edited by:Vorley, Tim, edited by Philip McCann (Professor of Urban and Regional Economics, University of Sheffield, UK) Tim Vorley (Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean, Oxford Brookes Business School, Oxford Brookes University, UK). - UK: Edward Elgar Publishing Limited, 2021 - xxi, 305 pages

This book examines how an error in global meta-policy set climate change negotiations on an unproductive course. The decision to base negotiations on the Montreal Protocol and overlook the importance of interests, it argues, institutionalised an approach doomed to fail. By analysing interests, science and norms in the process, and the neglect of ‘interactive minilateralism’, learning was delayed until the more promising Paris Agreement was finally concluded, only to encounter a Trump Presidency, which (ironically) might offer further learning opportunities.
