Global environmental problems and international environmental agreements

Timothy M. Swanson, Sam Johnston

"This book presents an examination of both the problem and the process underlying international environmental lawmaking: the recognition of international interdependence, the negotiation of international agreements and the evolution of international resource management." "It examines the general problem of global resource management by means of general principles and case studies and by looking at how and why specific negotiations and agreements have failed to achieve their targets."--Jacket.
