“…These studies focus on elite dynamics, and thus tend to have little to say about non-elite social movements. However, the role of transnational social movements in the analysis of global environmental politics cannot be reduced to the activities of elite groups (Laferriere 1994). And moreover, although liberal IPE examines power relations in the context of the institutions it describes, it neglects the role of power in shaping those institutions in the first place.…”

The environment and international relations The Environment and International Relations examines the relevance of the theoretical approaches currently used in international relations to the study of the global environment. Rather than following the usual case-study approach, this book covers both theoretical issues and a range of key international processes. The opening chapters deal with the neorealism-liberal institutionalism debate that has dominated the study of international environmental cooperation; they also bring a variety of other perspectives-from normative theory through gender studies to international political economy-to bear on such issues as environmental security and global environmental change. In the second part of the book, the emphasis shifts towards the organisations and processes involved in the formulation of global environmental policy. Here the contributors discuss the monitoring and implementation of environmental agreements, the relations between science, power and policy, and the role of trade interests and ideology in international negotiations on the environment. The critical importance of environmental issues for international relations is now well established. This is a book that no student of international relations or environmental policy can afford to ignore.
