’This is a highly interesting first analysis of recent developments in the two main European air pollution fora - the CLRTAP and EU. Should be very useful for policy-makers, scientists, industrialists, environmentalists and journalists in Europe and beyond.’ Christer Ã…gren, Head of the NGO Secretariat on Acid Rain ’This book gives an excellent and groundbreaking analysis of recent successful CLRTAP policy-making in Europe which provides important examples for other regions of the world and other issue areas.’ Lars Nordberg, Secretary of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) 1991-2000 ’Wettestad provides a truly insightful analysis of the forces that allow for the strengthening of international environmental policies. Both scholars and practitioners will benefit from the careful analysis of how policy-makers in the European Union and the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution were able to improve environmental policy even as pollution control costs grew and environmental concern waned. The use of both static and dynamic comparisons should serve as a model for those interested in analyzing international environmental policy.’ Dr. Ronald B. Mitchell, Associate Professor, Political Science, University of Oregon, USA A must-read resource on 'Global Environmental Politics' in the Oxford Bibliographies Online International Relations module.
