Synopsis

Seven original case studies show how the internationalization of environmental protection efforts is altering policy-making processes, policy outcomes, and the effectiveness of policy implementation. At the same time, the authors argue, the vital role of sub-state politics continues to influence the nature of national responses to international environmental problems. This book represents an important contribution to the debate on international environmental cooperation for students of international relations, comparative politics and environmental studies.

Review

"The contributors take a state-centric approach that, although simplistic, allows them to explore these questions in a familiar theoretical framework. Interestingly, even with a state-centric approach, the authors offer a rich account of case studies both in terms of issues and countries....The volume has a strong theme and will serve as an important reference for students and scholars interested in international relations in general and environmental policy in particular."
