| Summary |
"In examining the domestic politics of international cooperation, this book addresses two questions: 1. Why do governments often take different positions in negotiations about common problems - why do some states push for international regulations while other hold back? 2. How can variance in the domestic implementation of, and compliance with, international agreements be explained - why do some states deliver more than they have promised, others less?" "The authors report findings and observations from a major study which focused on efforts to establish international regulations to cope with the problem known as acid rain. They provide in-depth case studies of nine European countries as well as a comparative analysis searching for patterns and general conclusions."--BOOK JACKET |
