Perspectives on the Emergence and Settlement of Biodiversity: Reconciling Approaches in the Context of Sustainable Development, Frederique Santerre, biodiversity, sustainability

Date: Thu, May 15, 2003 Time: 01:30pm - 03:00pm Location: Perkins Room

Abstract: This talk will present the case for the emergence of the "issue of biodiversity" on the international scene and the characteristics of its institutional settlement at the international level. It will draw insights from both the IR (Institutional Design and reconciliation, linkages, norm entrepreneurs & path dependence) and STS ("co-production", framing & role of experts) literature, and link these accounts to the simultaneously emerging concept of 'sustainability". It will also offer some recommendations in the North-South context.
