| Summary |
Grew out of the Global Environmental Governance Project sponsored by the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy which began in 1998. Governance is the greatest challenge facing the international community. In fact, only if the nations of the world cooperate in establishing institutions and rules in support of the global common good will the phrase 'international community' have practical meaning.Otherwise, sovereign nations will live, and very likely die, not in a community at all but in a Hobbesian jungle. The scholars and practitioners assembled here discuss options and opportunities for better management of our ecological interdependence |
