Voluntary sustainability action when political conditions support regulation
Under what conditions do organizations adopt greening measures? Economic and political factors like wealth, democracy, decentralization, and corruption can influence the shape of sub-state greening behavior. We examine the content, extent, and determinants of port decisions to take on a set of 22 greening measures in the busiest 209 seaports in the world over the period 2005-2020 using data we collected. Greening measure adoption varies widely. W…
Expanding What Constitutes Global, Environmental, and Politics
This Forum examines the 502 books, published between 1998 and 2024, reviewed in the journal from issue 1(1) to issue 25(1). Collectively, the books that have been reviewed give an indication of what issue areas, concepts, and geographic foci have been central to the research community that studies global environmental politics. Book titles that mention the term global, environmental, or politics make up the bulk of books reviewed in the journal. …
Regulation from above or below
Focusing on 23 greening measures, this paper systematically compares the greening efforts of the busiest container and cargo ports in the United States (US) and the European Union (EU). We move beyond accounts for general environmental differences between the EU and the US to examine how specific environmental decisions are shaped by the effects of regulatory characteristics in each region. We identify systematic variation in number and type of p…
The security implications of fisheries
Although frequently ignored in discussion of ocean security, fisheries have had central security implications throughout history. This article re-centres fisheries issues as both a cause and effect of security conflicts, and examines the implications of this re-framing for addressing this intersection. Underlying the security concerns that arise related to fisheries is depletion of global fish stocks. When stocks are overfished or not well manage…
Individual Behavior and Global Environmental Problems
Global environmental problems are often the aggregated effect of behavior by individuals, but is persuading people individually to change their behavior useful for addressing these problems? Understanding why it is that people behave individually in ways that have collectively problematic environmental effects is key to understanding what works—and doesn’t work—to change this individual behavior. This article argues that because of the problem ch…
Global Environmental Institutions
Global Environmental Institutions continues to provide the most accessible and succinct overview of the major global institutions attempting to protect the natural environment. Fully updated throughout to reflect the latest environmental issues, the second edition includes substantial new material on developments in international agreements and how institutional mechanisms have evolved in the past 10 years, including the creation of the new Susta…

Global Environmental Governance for a New Green Economy
What role will be required of global institutions in managing a new green economy as it emerges (or in encouraging it to emerge) in the next 20 to 40 years? While there are many ways institutions could be structured to support a new green economy, their primary role is likely to be a coordinating one. Citizens and states need to determine what this green economy looks like; the main role for institutions is to support its implementation. That coo…
Globalization, Competition, and Convergence
This article examines the impact of globalization on international environmental, safety, and labor standards through the lens of impact of open registration in shipping--the ability of shipowners to choose in which states to register their ships. Shipowners have moved registration of ships to low-standard states, while traditional national registries relaxed standards in an effort to keep ship registrations. But recent successes in increasing st…
Multifaceted Science in Environmental Cooperation
Decades of research on environmental regimes have led to a consensus that science matters in setting the stage for international cooperation to address such problems (see, for example, Litfin 1994; Andresen et al. 2000; Miller and Edwards 2001; Parson 2003). Radoslav Dimitrov points out in Science and International Environmental Policy, however, that this consensus is underspecified. Most important, it does not tell us which aspects of science un…
Fishing under Flags of Convenience
Fishing that takes place on flag-of-convenience vessels, outside the international regulatory structure, is increasingly undermining the ability of fishery conservation organizations to manage fish stocks. Among the most affected are high seas and highly migratory stocks such as tuna, swordfish, and toothfish. The traditional approach to addressing this problem, efforts to persuade non-member flag states to join international agreements, has met …
Global Warming
Global warming is indeed a difficult international environmental problem to address: it has tragedy of the commons characteristics, and problems of time horizons and uncertainty. But previous efforts at international cooperation on other environmental issues such as ozone depletion suggest that international cooperation should be possible–though difficult–on climate change. Cooperation on issues that involve long time horizons suggests that the p…
Turtles and Trade
The sea turtle has become an icon ofenvironmentalist opposition to the World Trade Organization. Two decisions by the WTO in 1998 against a United States law intended to force other countries to adopt more turtle-friendly rules attracted widespread attention. A third decision in 2001 which supported the US law, however, went almost entirely unnoticed. A closer examination ofthe three decisions suggests that the WTO willingly accepts the idea ofen…
Domestic Sources of International Environmental Policy
How do international environmental standards come into being? One important way, as Elizabeth DeSombre shows in this book, is through the internationalization of regulations that one or more countries have undertaken domestically. Domestic environmental regulation, DeSombre argues, can create an incentive for environmentalists and industry—previously at odds with each other—to work together to shape international environmental policy. For environ…
Implementation, Compliance, and Effectiveness in International Environmental Law
Unilateralism and Multilateralism in International Fisheries Management
Traditional international relations theory suggests that unilateral action in pursuit of the national interest should be the first preference of states in an anarchical international system. [1] Empirically speaking, however, the actions of states are rarely purely unilateral. States often pursue international relations through bilateral negotiations and multilateral mechanisms, such as alliances, treaties, and international organizations. They d…
Developing country influence in global environmental negotiations
Developing states have had an uneven, though often high, degree of influence in international environmental negotiations. Two characteristics influence their actions and ability to gain desired outcomes in these negotiations. Developing states are less likely to work together on negotiations for environmental issues in which non‐participant states can be kept from the benefits of co‐operation. They are most likely to receive benefits to encourage…
