Critics Review
‘This book is important reading for economists and other social scientists and administrators interested in international environmental agreements and their implementation.’
‘This book is important reading for economists and other social scientists and administrators interested in international environmental agreements and their implementation.’ – Raymond Mikesell, The Economic Journal
‘Negotiating international environmental regimes is traditionally viewed as a task for lawyers and diplomats. This study - commissioned by the secretariat of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development - takes a fresh look, through an economist’s lens.’ – Peter H. Sand, Environment
‘The presentation of the economic material is first-rate, one of the best summaries of the field that I have read. The writing is clear and crisp, and the theory is leavened with wonderfully instructive examples … The book is likely to be the seminal piece in this area.’ – Thomas S. Ulen, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
