1. This paper is a synthesis of national case-studies otherwise pursued separately. As such it relies almost entirely on data gathered in the collective work within CIRCITER phase I, published in "CIRCITER, Climate Change Research and its Integration into Environmental Policy: Conditions for the Establishment of a European Climate Region. Progress Report April 1997", Bielefeld, IWT Paper 18, 1997;
2. and in Edwards, Paul and Miller, Clark (eds), Changing the Atmosphere (Boston: MIT Press, forthcoming 1999), which devotes section 3 to seven national case studies, four of them from the CIRCITER project. Miller probes the link between global and national discourses in "The Globalization of Climate Science and Climate Politics".
