Klappentext
This collection is the outcome of an interdisciplinary research project involving scholars in international and comparative environmental law, the sociology and politics of global governance, and the scientific study of global climate change. Rather than one overarching organisation, a system of multilevel institutions is advocated. The proper role of industrial self-regulation, regional integration, and improved coordination between international environmental organisations is discussed, as well as basic principles for sustainable use of resources. Addressing both academics and politicians, this book will stimulate the debate about the means of improving global governance.
