Hi Michele,
Lorraine is right, we have a manuscript with Yacob and Sylvia in which we suggest a way to explain G77 unity and disunity in current climate talks. Our piece has a lot of intellectual debt to Marc Williams, who has several excellent articles, especially one from 2005, 'The Third World and Global Environmental Negotiations: Interests, Institutions and Ideas', Global Environmental Politics 5 (2005): 48-69. Our manuscript is in process with a journal and we are just currently revising it. It should be finalized in a month or two, but I could also send a non-citable the manuscript to your colleague right away.
