About the product
International environment governance increasingly involves complex synergies between networks of actors across levels of international politics. Nation states are becoming dependent upon multilateral institutions, organized science, NGOs and social movements, and business and industry for formulating their views and for conducting policy. It is the emerging forces emanating from this multiplicity of actors that facilitate institutional synergies in environmental governance. This book describes these various channels of multilateral environmental governance and examines the key actors and the functions they perform.
