International environmental agreements provide a practical basis
for countries to address environmental issues on a global scale.
This book explores the workings and outcomes of these agreements,
and analyses key questions of why some problems are dealt with
successfully and others ignored. By examining fundamental policies
and issues in environmental protection this text gives an easily
comprehensible introduction to international environmental
agreements, and discusses 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, this book provides an
insightful evaluation of the successes and failures, and analysis
of the reasons for this. Concluding with an insightful examination
of research to show how performance of agreements can be improved
in the future, this volume is a vital contribution to our
understanding of the politics associated with establishing
international environmental consensus. International Environmental
Agreements will be of interest to scholars, students and
researchers in global environmental politics, international
relations and political science. Steinar Andresen is Senior
