International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics

Publisher: Springer Science+Business Media B.V

International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics is a
peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal that focuses on the theoretical,
methodological and practical dimensions of achieving cooperative solutions
to international environmental problems.

The journal, which is published four times each year, emphasizes both formal
legal agreements (such as multilateral treaties) and less formal cooperative
mechanisms (such as ministerial declarations and producer-consumer
agreements). 

The journal's scope encompasses the full range of environmental and natural
resource issues, including (but not limited to) biosafety, biodiversity
loss, climate change, desertification, forest conservation, ozone depletion,
transboundary pollutant flows, and the management of marine and fresh-water
resources. The editors welcome contributions that consider stakeholder
initiatives and the role of civil society in the definition and resolution
of environmental conflicts.

The journal provides a forum on the role of political, economic, and legal
considerations in the negotiation and implementation of effective governance
strategies. Special emphasis is attached to the following substantive
domains:

    * The normative aspects and political economy of treaty negotiations and
multilateral agreements, including equity considerations;
    * Methodologies for evaluating the effectiveness of alternative
governance mechanisms;
    * The role of stakeholder initiatives and civil society in the
definition and resolution of environmental conflicts;
    * The harmonization of environmental strategies with prevailing social,
political, and economic institutions.
