Title
The Compromise of Liberal Environmentalism,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The most significant shift in environmental governance over the last thirty years has been the convergence of environmental and liberal economic norms toward 'liberal environmentalism'which predicates environmental protection on the promotion and maintenance of a liberal economic order. Steven Bernstein assesses the reasons for this historical shift, introduces a socioevolutionary explanation for the selection of international norms, and considers the implications for our ability to address global environmental problems.The author maintains that the institutionalization of 'sustainable development' at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) legitimized the evolution toward liberal environmentalism. Arguing that most of the literature on international environmental politics is too rationalist and problemspecific, Bernstein challenges the mainstream thinking on international cooperation by showing that it is always for some purpose or goal. His analysis of the norms that guide global environmental policy also challenges the oftenpresumed primacy of science in environmental governance.
