Opis

The international character of today's most pressing environmental problems has become a key challenge for environmental policy-making. This study combines two core dimensions of international environmental policy: the traditional search for cost-effective policy instruments and the creation of incentives for voluntary co-operation among sovereign nations. The analysis offers some policy recommendations for the design of environmental treaties and for the further development of existing international institutions to protect the global environment.
