What Does Collaborative Event Ethnography Tell Us About Global Environmental Governance?

Abstract

This special issue on collaborative event ethnography (CEE) provides an important contribution to our understanding of global environmental governance (GEG), illustrating the value of ethnographic work to analyze how conventions work, how alliances are formed, and how particular ideas rise to prominence while others are rendered invisible. In this forum, I place the collection of articles in the context of broader debates on the shifting nature of governance in the global system.
