Mark's Update

Mark is currently teaching Comparative Politics and Introduction to International
Relations at the University of Maryland-University College.

He recently finished an article,

"Thinking Copenhagen: The Cognitive
Dimension of Climate Change Policy Making in
Brazil and the United States,"

forthcoming in Revista Universitas: Relações Internacionais
Centro Universitario de Brasilia (UniCEUB) Brasilia, Brazil

He is also working on three additional articles that explore energy and climate
change policymaking.  The first describes climate change policymaking in Brazil
under the Lula administration and argues that the country's democratic and
neo-corporatist policymaking structure lends itself to building society wide
consensus on national efforts to address global warming.  The second article
examines subnational cooeration on climate change action between the
Amazonian states and several U.S. states including California and Illinois.  Lastly,
the third article focuses on Brazil-U.S. energy cooperation within the context of
the COP15 negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

If you currently working on any of these issues or would like to collaborate on
future research projects, please contact Mark at:
