National Governance and the Global Climate Change Regime

the long version

"This book follows the Kyoto Protocol since the time of its drafting in 1997 to analyze its viability as an environmental treaty. Dana Fisher uses a combination of substantive interview data and country case studies of Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States to explain the complexity of the domestic and international debates taking place around the protocol. With its blend of quantitative and qualitative data, this study presents evidence that domestic interests are crucial in the formation of international environmental policymaking."--BOOK JACKET.
