Abstract
Science is an emotive subject within international environmental policy. On the one hand it has underpinned environmental concern and policymaking for decades and many policy analysts worry when climate change deniers portray science as flawed and politically motivated. On the other hand, many social and natural scientists also acknowledge that environmental science - like all other social activities - reflects some social influence and that environmental policy depends on public trust in expert organisations. How can International Relations (IR) analyse the politics of environmental science without diminishing the significance of research-led policy?.
