Studies in International Institutional Dynamics, 4 (International Studies Library, 28) Recent literature has started to pay attention to the interactions of international regimes, particularly in the realm of the environment. This volume builds on this literature in a very important way, by assessing the various and long term environmental implications that arise from interntaional regimes of cooperation and their interactions, while also addressing the possibilities for correcting unintended negative effects through international negotiations. The focus on solutions and the implications of the current governance structures for environmental protection make this book particularly useful to recent debates about environmental governance. The theory is innovative and it is well complimented by sophisticated empirical work.
