A World Environment Organization: Solution or Threat for Effective International Environmental Governance? de Frank Biermann

A World Environment Organization: Solution or Threat for Effective International Environmental Governance?: Global Environmental Governance

Autor Frank Biermann Editat de Steffen Bauer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 ian 2005
In recent years, the debate on the establishment of a new international agency on environmental protection - a 'World Environment Organization' - has gained substantial momentum. Several countries, including France and Germany, as well as a number of leading experts and senior international civil servants have openly supported the creation of such a new international organization. However, a number of critics have also taken the floor and brought forward important objections. This book presents a balanced selection of articles of the leading participants in this debate, including both major supporters and opponents of creating a World Environment Organization. The volume is especially relevant to students and scholars of international relations, environmental policy and international law, as well as to practitioners of diplomacy, international negotiations, and environmental policy making.

Recenzii

'Until now, we have been without a solid, authoritative and comprehensive book, covering the pros and cons of the various streams of ideas [on a world environment organization].

Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme [from the Foreword] 'This book exemplifies policy analysis at its best.

Whatever your view of the idea of creating a World Environment Organization, this book will sharpen your thinking.'

It is also interesting that the debate has matured over the years, such that the view of some authors, including Biermann himself, have evolved.' International Affairs '...it is a challenging, if at times rather saddening, collection of essays and repays time invested in its study.' Environmental Law & Management 'Frank Biermann and Steffen Bauer have taken a splendid initiative to bring together some leading scholars in this debate...This book gives a very good insight into the ongoing debate...It is a must in every environmental library, and I believe it will contribute to the debate on environmental governance in the future.'
