Matthew J. Hoffmann is Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough and in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto. He teaches and pursues research on climate change politics, global governance, multilateral treaty-making, complex systems, and international organization. Hoffmann is the author of Ozone Depletion and Climate Change: Constructing a Global Response and coeditor with Alice Ba of Contending Perspectives on Global Governance: Coherence, Contestation, and World-Order.

Climate Governance at the Crossroads chronicles how cities, provinces and states, citizen groups, and corporations around the globe are addressing the causes and symptoms of global warming. In introducing climate governance "experiments" and examining the development and functioning of this experimental world of climate governance, this book provides an exciting new perspective on the politics of climate change and the means to understand and influence how the global response to climate change will unfold in the coming years.
