We worked through a stellar line-up of papers, which were innovatively presented and intensively discussed:
Matthijs Kouw and Arthur Petersen, Learning to trust the IPCC again: A diplomatic approach
Mark Brown, Bruno Latour and the democratic representation of climate change
Maximilian Mayer and Michele Acuto, Large assemblages and ‘size’ in world politics: Questioning a forgotten variable to understand the topography of LTS
Philip Conway, The varieties of diplomatic experience (with special attention to the problem of territory)
Sandra Junier and Maurits Ersen, “An ant’s nest could bring down a hill”: The material in actor network theory
Arjen Zegwaard, Parliaments of mud
Werner Krauss, The political ecology of emerging climate landscapes
Tim Forsyth, Critically examining Science and Technology Studies within environment and development: Actor Network Theory and the stabilization of science in the Global Landscapes Approach
Stephen Flood and David Frame, The IPCC’s science–policy interface through a Latourian lens
Jasper Montana, ‘An IPCC for biodiversity’: On being, and becoming unlike, IPCC-like
Ed Dammers, The Nature Outlook as an example of diplomacy between different modes of existence
Hanneke Muilwijk and Albert Faber, Beyond borders: How the Anthropocene re-colours our world
Jasmine Livingston and Eva Lövbrand, Contested purification: The (un)making of integrated climate science in the IPCC’s Fifth Synthesis Report
Kari de Pryck, Developing a methodology for tracing issues and statements in the IPCC
(N.B. not all co-authors attended the workshop.)My own paper on diplomacy and territory seemed to be well-received and I particularly benefited from the several co-workshoppers who have had first hand experience of participating in IPCC negotiations. I'm hoping to draw on those experiences as I redraft my paper.
Thanks particularly to the organisers Arthur Petersen, Theo Lorenc and Matthijs Kouw.
