The ozone layer is threatened by chemical emissions, the climate is
endangered from fossil fuels and deforestation, and global
biodiversity is being lost by reason of thousands of years of
habitat conversions. Global environmental problems arise out of the
accumulated impacts from many years' and many countries' economic
development. In order to address these problems the states of the
world must cooperate to manage their development processes together
- this is what international environmental agreements are designed
to do. But can the world's countries cooperate successfully to
manage global development? How should they manage it? Who should
pay for the process, as well as for the underlying problems? This
book presents an examination of both the problems and the processes
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. The book, commissioned by UNCTAD to assist
policymakers, especially in developing countries. It will also be
of interest to practitioners in the areas of environmental
economics and law and to scholars studying global environmental
policy making and institution building.
