Biermann and Jacob (2004 and a more recent piece by Biermann and Pattberg 2008)
on the centrality (or as some discuss, lack thereof) of the nation state in GEP.
For domestic sources of international environmental policy, I refer my students
to Beth DeSombre's 2000 book (she focuses in the US), but she has a piece in
the 2005 that is more recent.
