International Environmental Negotiations

Booknews

In ten original papers, economists and political scientists examine international negotiations and agreements to protect the global environment, analyzing policy within a framework of game-theory strategy. They consider such dimensions as the existence, size, and environmental impacts of self-enforcing agreements; the role of an arbitrator; the problems of interactions between environmental policies and those affecting trade and industry; the role of myopia in negotiators; and asymmetric interests between developed and less developed countries.
