Global Environmental Change and International Relations

Climate change and depletion of the ozone layer are two examples of dramatic changes in the Earth's natural environment which raise new questions in international relations. The chapters in this book explore some of the theoretical and policy problems that are posed by global environmental change. The variety of perspectives employed - international relations theory, international political economy, international law, strategic studies - reflect the complexity of the issues involved. This book is designed to be of interest to environmental specialists and international relations theorists as it provides a useful survey of these issues for all students of world affairs.
