Recent books include Policy Networks and Policy Change (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009), Climate Change and Political Strategy (edited) (Taylor and Francis, 2010), and Turning Down the Heat: The Politics of Climate Policy in Affluent Democracies (edited with Ian Bailey) (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008). Ian Bailey is an Associate Professor at the University of Plymouth, specialising in European climate policy. He has published widely on aspects of environmental policy, including a special issue of Area on climate policy implementation (2007), and Turning down the heat: The politics of climate policy in affluent democracies (with Hugh Compston, Palgrave Macmillan, 2008). He has advised UK government, the EU and Policy Network on various aspects of climate policy.
Most of the vast swathes of books, articles, or blogs, written on
climate change policy proceed on the basis as if politics is
irrelevant. But it is politics that will determine whether we
decarbonise the economy quickly and deeply enough to avoid
disastrous climate change. In Climate Clever, Hugh Compston and Ian
Bailey succinctly and powerfully think through the political logic
of climate change to give us astrong sense of the sorts of actions
politicians can take to reduce emissions without getting booted out
of office, and the sorts of actions the rest of us can take to get
politicians to move in the right direction.

and the transformation of the global economy"Essential reading for
anyone concerned with the politics of climate change. The authors
show how practical measures to limit carbon impact can be achieved
even in the face of public indifference."Anthony Giddens, former
Director of the London School of Economics
