Good afternoon, Thanks to all of you who responded to my query about readings on international environmental cooperation. Below you will find the list of recommended books and articles.
Thanks, Áslaug Ásgeirsdóttir Articles and Chapters: Negotiating climate legislation: Policy path dependence and coalition stabilization by Janelle Knox-Hayes and published in Regulation and Governance 2012. Climate Politics 2009: A Big Year for the Future by Stacy D. VanDeveer and published in Perspektiven der Wirtschaftspolitik 2010. Falkner, Robert, Hannes Stephan and John Vogler (2010) 'International Climate Policy After Copenhagen: Towards a 'Building Blocks' Approach', in: *Global Policy*, vol. 1, no. 3, pp. 252-62. Books: If by international environmental cooperation you include environmental governance, there's a new book out by Biermann and Pattberg (eds) called Global Environmental Governance Reconsidered Environmental Policy by Norman J. Vig and Michael E. Kraft The Global Environment: Institutions, Law and Policy by Regina S. Axelrod, Stacy D Vandeveer, and David Leonard Downie. Chasek, Pamela S, David L Downie and Janet Welsh Brown (2010): Global Environmental Politics, 5th ed. Westview Press. Specifically also Chapter 6 in Chasek in Downie and Brown, Global Environmental Politics, 5th edition, sets out a series of reasons why effective international environmental cooperation is difficult. Chapters 3-5 are a series of specific case studies which set up this discussion. I wrote this chapter for the 4th (during the mid point of my 14 years at Columbia) on the basis of many years of attending global environmental negotiations, a review of documents, and a review of the academic literature Harris, Paul (2009): The Politics of Climate Change. London and New York. - A constructivistic interpretation of the international negotiations on cliamte change. Harrison, Kathryn & Lisa MxIntosh Sundstrom (2010): Global Commons, Domestic Decisions.
