About this book
The book is divided into two parts. Part I looks at international systems for implementation review, through which parties share information, review performance, handle noncompliance, and adjust commitments. Part II looks at implementation at the national level, with particular attention to participation by governmental and nongovernmental actors and to problems in states with economies in transition. The book includes fourteen case studies that cover eight major areas of international environmental regulation.

There is no way to summarize this book: it is rich in variety of experience, full of unexpected results, innovative in conceptualization, broad in environmental coverage, and ultimately wise in its conclusions. You can read the conclusions with profit, but conviction will come from absorbing the entire range of experience. An immense and successful effort. --Thomas C. Schelling, School of Public Affairs, University of Maryland
