Handbook of Globalisation and Environmental Policy, Second Edition. National Government Interventions in a Global Arena (en Inglés) - Frank Wijen;Kees Zoeteman;Jan Pieters;Paul van Seters

'In an increasingly interdependent world, global forces affect both the design and effectiveness of environmental policy. This Handbook provides an unusually creative and comprehensive guide, not only to the nature of these forces and their impacts, but also to how a better understanding of these forces can provide a foundation for improving the effectiveness of environmental policy.'
- Tom Tietenberg, Colby College, US

In the current era of globalization, national governments are increasingly exposed to international influences that present new constraints and opportunities for domestic environmental policies. This comprehensive, revised Handbook pushes the frontiers of theoretical and empirical knowledge, and provides a state-of-the-art examination of the multifaceted effects of globalization on environmental governance.

Including substantially revised as well as new contributions from leading authorities, the Handbook offers an insightful overview of recent developments at the intersection of globalization and national environmental policy. It covers themes including national regimes, trade rules, types of goods, federalism, innovation, standards, citizen-consumers, developing countries, policy networks, partnerships, and carbon trading.

The Handbook's depth and scope will appeal to a broad and varied readership, across academics, students, and policy makers interested in public and private governance, environmental economics, international relations, environmental politics and law, sociology, and political science.
