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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInternational Environmental Agreements\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to scholars, students and researchers in global environmental politics, international relations and political science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteinar Andresen is Senior Research Fellow at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway, and formerly professor at the Dept. of Political Science, University of Oslo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElin Lerum Boasson is Research Fellow at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeir H nneland is Research Director at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute and adjunct professor at the University of Troms .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steinar Andresen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415598257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415598255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 116","brand":"Steinar Andresen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086312091903,"sku":"9780415598255","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b5d3cd15-ef7d-4f5e-bbb3-8db153c10ba0.jpg?v=1769093965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/international-environmental-agreements-steinar-andresen-9780415598255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
