The Making of International Environmental Treaties: Neoliberal and Constructivist Analyses of Normative Evolution
The book explores why some global environmental treaties seek to preserve and protect some parts of nature from human utilization, some seek to conserve certain parts of nature for human development, whilst others allow the reckless exploitation of nature without accounting for the consequences. It tracks the fate of these three underlying environmental norms - preservation, conservation and exploitation - using case studies on whaling, mining in Antarctica and tropical timber. The book illustrates how international political battles to shape environmental regimes inevitably result in clashes between these competing environmental norms.
This unique study will prove a fascinating read for both academics and practitioners in the fields of international environmental politics and international environmental law.
