The Crisis of Global Environmental Governance by Jacob Park

The Crisis of Global Environmental Governance by Jacob Park

Taking a critical perspective and providing a comprehensive framework on globalization and governance, this book examines what institutional mechanisms and arrangements will enable people to achieve sustainable environmental governance.

‘We urgently need global environmental governanceFor this, the 1992 Earth Summit was lamentably inadequate, and the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit was even worse. This book finally offers perspectives on governance structures for sustainable development.’

Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, Dean Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California Santa Barbara, USA

‘This is a book that asks hard questions and provides thoughtful anwers. While the world cries out for leadership or innovative collaboration involving multi-stakeholders to address the challenges of globalisation, environmental degradation and climate change, people are much less willing to address governance, both domestically and internationally, because the dysfunctionalities of our politics and economics are so entrenched. This book inconveniently opens Pandora's Box and demands our attention.’

Christine Loh, CEO of think tank Civic Exchange, Hong Kong and named a Hero of the Environment by TIME 2007
