Synopsis

This original and sometimes controversial book is concerned with international regulation, negotiation and policy-making in the environmental realm. In particular, it focuses on toxic chemicals, and the ways in which risk associated with hazardous substances is assessed, and the policy outcomes that result. A key assertion of the book is that the international arena is more favorable to environment groups while the domestic arena tends to favor industry. The book is based on research into international agencies and takes a multidisciplinary approach.
