Sorry to bombard you with two panel ideas in one day, but I was wondering whether anyone on the list (or on other lists you may forward this to) are working on the problems with environmental treaty fatigue and implementation challenges. We went through a major treaty negotiation phase in the 1990s and now the hens have come home to roost, so to speak, and countries, especially developing countries, are finding the demands placed on them by environmental treaties are more onerous than ever. As a result, treaty implementation risks falling by the wayside in some countries. I would like to try to put together a panel that addresses this "other" side of multilateral environmental agreements. Papers could focus on a single treaty, or challenges faced by a single country or group of countries, depending on what your research is addressing. The panel could either be run like a traditional panel or we could convene more of a discussion forum with the audience on the issues raised by our papers. If anyone is interested, send me an e-mail with an abstract and your contact information. If you would be interested in chairing or serving as a discussant, let me know as well. If we get enough interest, I'll submit the panel proposal. Thanks! Pam Pamela S.
