Environment and Statecraft: The Strategy of Environmental Treaty-Making.
This book presents a theory of international collaboration on environmental challenges. The theory combines several fields, including game theory, economics, international law, and international relations.
It explores why treaties are used to handle these difficulties, as well as what determines whether they succeed or fail. Treaties can only influence behaviour by altering the incentives that drive it.
Successful treaties must make it in the interests of countries to participate in and comply with an agreement that requires significant behavioural changes, such as reductions in pollution emissions.
The idea is applied to a variety of environmental issues, including acid rain, ozone layer protection, international fisheries management, and offshore oil dumping legislation.
The last chapter, modified in the paperback edition with a new afterword, applies the theory to explain why the Kyoto Protocol will fail to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions and why alternative techniques may be more effective.
