Ecology, economics, game theory and diplomacy are called upon and brought together in the common framework of a basic mathematical model. Within that framework, and using tools from these four disciplines, the book develops a theory that aims to explain and promote cooperation in international environmental affairs.
Other books on the topic tend to be research-oriented volumes of various papers. Instead, this is a book that offers a reasonably-sized synthesis of the multidimensional societal problems of transfrontier pollution, particularly of climate change. It uses mathematical modeling of economic and game theory concepts to examine these environmental issues and demonstrate many results in an accessible fashion. Readers interested in understanding the links between ecology and economics, as well as the connection between economics and institutional decision-making, will find in this text not only answers to many of their queries but also questions for further thinking.
Readership: Students and researchers who are interested in learning more about transboundary environmental issues, such as transfrontier pollution and climate change, from an environmental economics and game theory perspective.

His research interests and publications bear mostly upon three themes: international aspects of environmental economics, as a field of application of game theory to public goods and externalities; fiscal competition and the foundations of federalism; and public enterprise economics.
Several of his publications have been assembled in Public goods, environmental externalities and fiscal competition: 22 selected papers in public economics by Henry Tulkens, edited and introduced by Parkash Chander, Jacques Drèze, C Knox Lovell and Jack Mintz, Springer, Boston 2006 (588 pp). More recently, he edited with Roger Guesnerie The Design of Climate Policy, CESifo Seminar Series, The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 2009.
