Abstract

With the dominance of neo-liberalism and realism, modern international relation theories seem to provide no possible win-win solution for collaboration in facing world climate changes issues. This article examines the traditional bargain between the national interest motivated actions with responsible actions in facing the climate changes by EU countries, taking Germany and France as examples. It is argued that both countries take the constructivism view based on their specific profit concerns, which could be an adaptable mode for other countries to study with.
