The greening of Machiavelli: the evolution of international environmental politics - 4

Environmental issues present a daunting challenge to the international system.

The destruction of the tropical rainforest, the Chernobyl explosion and the ozone layer 'hole' all underline the transnational nature of environmental threats and the need for states to act together in order to tackle them.

This book traces the history of international environmental negotiations and regulations and looks at the domestic policies upon which cooperation in the international community depends.
