  • More about The Emergence of Geoengineering: How Knowledge Networks Form Governance Objects

Geoengineering has evolved from a controversial idea to a governance object that is likely to shape the future of climate politics. This Element provides an analysis of the recent history and evolution of geoengineering as a governance object, explaining how it evolved from a thought shared by a small network into a governance object that is in need of international governance.

Geoengineering has been a controversial topic in climate change science and politics for many years. However, recent developments have made visions of massive carbon drawdown and sunlight reflection more reasonable additions to conventional mitigation and adaptation strategies. This Element provides an analysis of the recent history and evolution of geoengineering as a governance object. It explains how geoengineering evolved from a thought shared by a small network of scientists into a governance object that is likely to shape the future of climate politics. In the process, it generates a theory on the earliest phase of the policy cycle and sheds light on the question of why we govern the things we govern in the first place.
