By focusing on how these institutions are sites of coproduction of knowledge and policy, this work brings to light the politics of science advice and details how these committees are contributing to an emerging global environmental constitutionalism. Grounded in participant observation, elite interviews and document analysis, this book uses the lenses of the body of experts, body of knowledge and institutional body to focus on three treaties: the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBook's Webpage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe research that Pia Kohler gathered in this book is a timely reminder of the importance of how scientific expertise is incorporated in global environmental law. This is relevant today, as expertise needs to adapt to the current post-normal context where ‘facts are uncertain, values in dispute, stakes high and decisions urgent’. The book explores how scientific expert bodies advise international environmental treaties and influence their implementation. Kohler’s interdisciplinary background combines environmental sciences and international relations, which are key to analyse the dynamics within scientific expert bodies. — Mara R.
