Hardly a day passes without journalists, policymakers, academics, or scientists calling attention to the worldwide scale of the environmental crisis confronting humankind. While climate change has generated the greatest alarm in recent years, other global problemsdesertification, toxic pollution, species extinctions, drought, and deforestation, to name just a fewloom close behind. The scope of the most pressing environmental problems far exceeds the capacity of individual nationstates, much less smaller political entities. To compound these problems, economic globalization, the growth of nongovernmental activist groups, and the accelerating flow of information have fundamentally transformed the geopolitical landscape. Despite the new urgency of these challenges, however, they are not without historical precedent. As this book shows, nationstates have long sought agreements to manage migratory wildlife, just as they have negotiated conventions governing the exploitation of rivers and other bodies of water. Similarly, nationstates have long attempted to control resources beyond their borders, to impose their standards of proper environmental exploitation on others, and to draw on expertise developed elsewhere to cope with environmental problems at home. This collection examines this littleunderstood history, providing case studies and context to inform ongoing debates.
