Description

This timely book brings much-needed clarity to the concept of `environmental governance` as manifested in the global regulatory domain.

The author argues that despite being used as a fashionable term by many - including economists, political scientists, environmentalists and, increasingly, lawyers - its theoretical contours and conceptual content remain unclear, incoherent, and inconsistent.

In addressing this problem, the book begins by describing globalization as a general context of governance.

It comprehensively interrogates and clarifies both the governance and global governance concepts, and then explains aspects and components of global environmental governance.

Finally it investigates the role of law in global environmental governance.

Providing a much-needed definition of environmental governance and global environmental governance, this comprehensive study will appeal to academics and researchers, post-graduate and under-graduate students, intergovernmental organizations such as UNEP, WTO, IUCN, as well as governments and governmental agencies involved with environmental regulation.
