Dear Colleagues,
We are looking for 1-2 more papers for a proposed panel on North American environmental cooperation. If interested, please send me a title and 200-word abstract by Friday May 23rd. See panel abstract below. Best, Sikina Environmental Cooperation in the North American Region: Challenges, Lessons, and Opportunities As international cooperation on environmental problem solving struggles to deliver tangible results, regional alternatives have attracted increasing attention. Fewer actors, shared geographical context, and often a longer history of cross border cooperation are some reasons why regional cooperation may deliver more promising results. This panel examines environmental cooperation in the North American region with a view to better understanding its implications for environmental problem solving and pathways of policy and norm diffusion between the national, regional, and international levels. We analyze regional cooperation between state actors, and the roles that non-state actors play in shaping transboundary interests and polices in the realm of biodiversity conservation, fisheries, trade, e-waste, and air pollution. The panel further provides insight into contemporary challenges facing regional environmental governance in North America and beyond, such as maintaining regional cohesion, in what is actually a stunningly diverse region in terms of economics, politics, and environmental challenges. -- Sikina Jinnah Asst.
