- Summary:
- The authors note that environmental problems have been a focus in political circles for over 30 years, and that the typical method of dealing with them has been the establishment of multilateral environmental agreements. In this book they explore the rise of the environment as an international political issue, and concentrate on how effective they are and their impacts. Topics include air pollution, ocean management, and nature protection and biodiversity--followed by a conclusion on the ideals and practice in international environmental politics. Editors Andresen, Boasson, and Honneland (research, Fridjtof Nansen Institute, Norway), and eight co-authors contributed to the book. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
