  4. 2. What Can Nature Withstand? : Science, Politics and Discourses in Transboundary Air Pollution Diplomacy

    Author : Karin Bäckstrand; Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political and administrative sciences; discourse analysis; constructivism; science–policy interface; critical loads; international environmental politics; transboundary air pollution; Environmental law; Statsvetenskap; förvaltningskunskap; Miljörätt;

    Abstract : Long-range transboundary air pollution generates pressing environmental problems such as the acidification of lakes and soils, forest decline and loss of biodiversity as well as threats to human health across Europe. The overall aim of this study is to explore the role of scientific expertise in environmental diplomacy by analyzing recent international agreements in the transboundary air pollution (LRTAP) regime.

    Abstract : Denna avhandling innefattar såväl experimentella som numeriska studier av laserkylda atomer i optiska kristallgitter. Bland annat har laserkylningsprocesser studerats, där atomers rörelser i optiska kristallgitter har uppvisat andra typer av bakomliggande mekanismer än de som tidigare förutsågs genom “Sisyfoskylningsmodellen”.
