Civil society participants have voiced concerns that the
environmental problems that were the subject of multilateral
environmental agreements negotiated during the 1992 Rio processes
are not serving to ameliorate global environmental problems. These
concerns raise significant questions regarding the utility of
negotiating agreements through the UN. This book elucidates the
complexity of how participants engage in these negotiations through
the various processes that take place under the auspices of the
UN-primarily those related to climate and biological diversity. By
taking an ethnographic approach and providing concrete examples of
how it is that civil society participants engage in making policy,
this book develops a robust sense of the implications of the
current terrain of policy-making-both for the environment, and for
the continued participation of non-state actors in multilateral
environmental governance. Using data gathered at actual
negotiations, the book develops concepts such as participation and
governance beyond theory. The research uses participant observation
ethnographic methods to tie the theoretical frameworks to people's
actual activities as policy is generated and contested. Whereas
topics associated with global environmental governance are
traditionally addressed in fields such as international relations
and political science, this book contributes to developing a richer
understanding of the theories using a sociological framework, tying
individual activities into larger social relations and shedding
light on critical questions associated with transnational civil
society and global politics.
This book provides a specific case study--based upon direct
research with UN processes--which enables the reader to situate
larger theoretical arguments regarding civil society,
globalization, and sustainable development within the context of
the actual activities of practitioners working within the UN forest
policy-making arena.
