Dear all, apologies for the shameless self-promotion - I would like to announce the publication of our new book:
Sebastian Oberthür and Olav Schram Stokke, eds. 2011: Managing Institutional Complexity. Regime Interplay and Global Environmental Change, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. "Institutional Interaction and complexity are crucial to environmental governance and are quickly becoming dominant themes in the international relations and environmental politics literatures. This book examines international institutional interplay and its consequences, focusing on two important issues: how states and other actors, including the EU, can manage institutional interaction to improve synergy and avoid disruption; and what forces drive the emergence and evolution of institutional complexes, sets of institutions that cogovern particular issue areas. The book, a product of the Institutional Dimensions of Global Environmental Change research project (IDGEC), offers both theoretical and empirical perspectives."
