Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is increasingly vital that students of international relations and international law, diplomats and other negotiators and observers understand the conditions and realities within which global policy-making, including that relating to the environment, is undertaken. Thought-provoking yet hopeful, the ideas put forward in this book provide students, practitioners, policy-makers and experts with an essential handbook and guide to the field of Global Environmental Governance (GEG). It contains a comprehensive glossary of terms and a substantial list of acronyms, and also incorporates a compelling essay, challenging those concerned with the management of our planet and its inhabitants to understand and accept a vocabulary common to the often opposing GEG objectives which have emerged in the last fifty years.
