Introduction: on governmentality and climate change / Johannes Stripple and Harriet Bulkeley -- Part I. Governmentality, Critical Theory and Climate Change: 1. Bringing governmentality to the study of global governance / Eva Lövbrand and Johannes Stripple; 2. Experimenting on climate governmentality with actor-network theory / Anders Blok; 3. Third side of the coin: hegemony and governmentality in global climate politics / Benjamin Stephan, Delf Rothe and Chris Methmann; 4. The limits of climate governmentality / Carl Death -- Part II. Cases of Climate Government: Theorizing Practice: 5. Neuroliberal climatic governmentalities / Mark Whitehead, Rhys Jones and Jessica Pykett; 6. Making carbon calculations / Sally Eden; 7. Smart meters and the governance of energy use in the household / Tom Hargreaves; 8. Translation loops and shifting rationalities of transnational bioenergy governance / Jarmo Kortelainen and Moritz Albrecht; 9. Governing mobile species in a climate-changed world / Juliet J. Fall; 10. Measuring forest carbon / Heather Lovell; 11. Climate security as governmentality: from precaution to preparedness / Angela Oels -- Part III. Future Directions: 12. The rise and fall of the global climate polity / Olaf Corry; 13. Climate change multiple / Samuel Randalls -- Conclusion: towards a critical social science of climate change? / Harriet Bulkeley and Johannes Stripple.

Summary: Despite a growing interest in critical social and political studies of climate change, the field remains fragmented and diffuse. This is the first volume to collect this body of scholarship, providing a key reference point in the growing debate about climate change across the social sciences. The book provides a new set of insights into the ways in which climate change is creating new forms of social order, and the ways in which they are structured through the workings of rationality, power and politics. Governing the Climate is invaluable for three main audiences: social science researchers and advanced students in the field of climate change; the wider research community interested in global environmental politics and global environmental governance; and policy makers and researchers concerned more broadly with environmental politics at international, national and local levels.
