It analyses methods used to reduce free-riding in protecting the commons and discusses agreements considered successful – such as the Montreal Protocol – and others that are less effective. In the absence of a supranational authority to enforce solutions in the interest of larger regions, voluntary agreements need to be negotiated by independent agents. They should pass not only aggregate cost-benefit tests, but they have to meet additional criteria in order to win the support of those who cooperate. The book analyses different agreements and draws policy conclusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: The \u003ci\u003eVictim Pays Principle\u003c\/i\u003e (e.g. international rivers) – Regional cooperation (including European acid rain, Baltic Sea eutrophication, etc.) – Protecting the global commons (ozone layer, global warming, biodiversity, etc.) – Cross-cutting issues (such as development assistance, trade vs. environment, capacity building, etc.).","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044278796631,"sku":"9783631652336","price":41.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631652336.jpg?v=1750961114","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-economics-of-international-environmental-cooperation-9783631652336","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
