Dear All, I'm forwarding a book announcement that might be of interest.
All best, Lars Routledge recently published a paperback version of International Environmental Agreements: An Introduction edited by Steinar Andresen, Elin Lerum Boasson and Geir Hønneland of the Fridtjof Nansen Institute. The book gives an easily comprehensible introduction to international environmental agreements, discussing problems in three areas: air, water and on land. It traces the history of agreements in broad thematic areas related to long-distance air pollution, ozone-depleting and greenhouse gases, ocean management, biological diversity, agricultural plant diversity and forest stewardship. Drawing on experts in their respective fields, the book provides an evaluation of the successes and failures, and analysis of the reasons for this. Concluding with an examination of research to show how performance of agreements can be improved in the future, the book is an insightful contribution to the understanding of the politics associated with establishing international environmental consensus. Contributors: Jørgen Wettestad, Øystein Jensen, Jon Birger Skjærseth, Olav Schram Stokke, Kristin Rosendal, Peter Johan Schei, Regine Andersen, Lars Gulbrandsen. International Environmental Agreements will be of interest to scholars and researchers in global environmental politics, international relations and political science, and at USD 54 (GBP 30), the paperback version should be affordable also for students and classroom use.
