... this book provides an excellent summary of a collaborative, long-term study and should provide new material for debates on the use of science, the role of neoliberalism, and the relevance of power in international environmental negotiations. -Review of Policy Research ... the book offers a synthetic but comprehensive look at the development of global environmental governance, expanding on the spoils of the conceptual juridical tools built during the twentieth century but which are no longer sufficiently refined to address problems that have emerged within the contemporary global arena. -International Environmental Agreements ... the book presents a useful synthesis of contemporary trends in the global governance system and provides recommendations for policy and future research. -International Environmental Agreements ... starkly shows why we need to be concerned about the legitimacy and effectiveness of traditional state entities, laws, and processes dealing with global environmental issues. -International Social Science Review
An examination of three major trends in global governance, exemplified by developments in transnational environmental rule-setting. The notion of global governance is widely studied in academia and increasingly relevant to politics and policy making. Yet many of its fundamental elements remain unclear in both theory and practice. This book offers a fresh perspective by analyzing global governance in terms of three major trends, as exemplified by developments in global sustainability governance: the emergence of nonstate actors; new mechanisms of transnational cooperation; and increasingly segmented and overlapping layers of authority. The book, which is the synthesis of a ten-year "Global Governance Project" carried out by thirteen leading European research institutions, first examines new nonstate actors, focusing on international bureaucracies, global corporations, and transnational networks of scientists; then investigates novel mechanisms of global governance, particularly transnational environmental regimes, public-private partnerships, and market-based arrangements; and, finally, looks at fragmentation of authority, both vertically among supranational, international, national, and subnational layers, and horizontally among different parallel rule-making systems. The implications, potential, and realities of global environmental governance are defining questions for our generation. This book distills key insights from the past and outlines the most important research challenges for the future.
