Institutional Interaction in Global Environmental Governance: Synergy and Conflict among International and EU Policies
Sebastian Oberthür and Thomas Gehring (eds.)

This systematic investigation of the interaction among international and European institutions provides both a theoretical framework for analysis and the first broad overview of this largely uncharted field of research. By offering detailed case studies and a systematic analysis of results, the book examines the effects of institutional interaction on environmental governance and explores the ways in which international and European Union policies can either reinforce or undercut one another.

Regime Consequences
Oran R. Young and Arild Underdal, eds. Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004.

Why are some international regimes more effective or more successful than others? What theoretical models and empirical methods are most useful in answering this question? This book provides a systematic assessment of the state of the art in studies of regime effectiveness as well as a sophisticated analysis of the range of techniques available for the conduct of research in this area. A feature of the book of particular interest is the consideration of broader consequences of regimes as well as their performance in addressing the specific problems that lead to their creation.
