The Postcolonial Enlightenment: Eighteenth-century Colonialism and Postcolonial Theory

Oxford University Press, 2009

Adjudicating Climate Change: State, National, and International Approaches

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The world’s political process has been slow to react to the serious, and potentially catastrophic, consequences for life on our planet that flow from the burning of fossil fuel.
