Global environmental politics

"With a new case study on fisheries, a new chapter on improving compliance with international environmental regimes, and a new section on trade and environment, this classic work is more complete and up-to-date than any survey of international environmental politics on the market.". "In addition to providing a concise yet comprehensive overview of global environmental issues, the authors have worked to contextualize key topics such as the 1992 Earth Summit, the Kyoto Protocol, international forest policy, and the trade and environmental nexus. Environmental concerns from global warming to ozone depletion to whaling are seen as challenges to transnational relations, with governments, NGOs IGOs, and MNCs all involved in the multilateral interaction that is necessary to solve growing global environmental problems."--BOOK JACKET.
