The Roads from Rio
At the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, popularly known as the Rio Earth Summit, the world’s leaders constructed a new "sustainable development" paradigm that promised to enhance environmentally sound economic and social development. Twenty years later, the proliferation of multilateral environmental agreements points to an unprecedented achievement, but is worth examining for its accomplishments and shortcomings. This book provides a review of twenty years of multilateral environmental negotiations (1992-2012). The authors have participated in most of these negotiating processes and use their first-hand knowledge as writers for the International Institute for...
Problem-solving and Bargaining in International Negotiations
International Negotiation Series, 5 (International Studies Library, 8) Many analysts theorize that negotiation processes determine negotiated outcomes, but none have empirically tested this hypothesis across multiple cases of international negotiation. This book examines the process-outcome relationship in thirteen bilateral and multilateral negotiations involving the United States. Declassified reports from U.S. negotiators about discussions with their counterparts provide the primary data source through which the author constructs the case studies and performs a content analysis of negotiator statements to compare process and outcome. The book seeks to advance our understanding of the rela...

International Norms, Normative Change, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
This book is an edited volume that focuses on international norms and normative change in some of the key areas of sustainable human development. This is an important and timely topic since the international community adopted a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in September of 2015. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development will guide international development efforts over the next fifteen years. For this reason, developing a deeper understanding of the SDGs, the international norms that underpin them, and any normative change they represent is vital for students, scholars, and development practitioners and professionals. This volume is designed to provide an account of some of the normative debates and normative change that the process of developing a set of SDGs has entailed. Its goal is to assess the origins, nature, extent, and implications of normative change in the context of the post-2015 development agenda. It also evaluates the extent to which the SDGs represent a significant change from established development norms and practices.

In this volume, prominent scholars and practitioners in the field of global environmental politics consider the ecological and political realities of life on the new earth, and probe the field's deepest and most enduring ...
