Selin's analysis is lucid, insightful, and timely. He has done a good job of assembling information on an institutional complex that has received less attention among those interested in environmental governance than a number of other cases. The book offers a nice balance between analytic arguments and empirical applications and, in the process, produces insights that will be of interest to those working on matters of governance in a number of issue areas. --Oran R. Young, Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California, Santa Barbara Global Governance of Hazardous Chemicals provides an illuminating account of the evolution of the global chemicals management regime. Selin's analysis of the agreements that make up this regime provides important insights into the role of coalitions and institutional linkages in the complex and multi-scale governance efforts aimed at improving chemical safety. Highlighting an issue that to date has received less attention that it deserves, this book will be an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners in the field of global environmental governance. --Jennifer Clapp, CIGI Chair in International Governance and Professor of Environmental Studies, University of Waterloo, coauthor of Paths to a Green World

A uniquely comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of theglobal chemicals regimeExcellent background information for scholars of environmentalgovernance, as well as for policy makers, participants, and stakeholders inthe chemicals negotiations. -- Jessica Templeton, Review of Policy Research This well-written book tackles a very important, yet often neglected, aspect of modern environmental conservation concerns. -- Jolocam Mbabazi, Environmental Studies Selin's book presents one of the most comprehensive examinations to date of the chemicals regime. Its elaborate history of this regime, as well as its clearly structured case studies, will make this work an oft-consulted reference for those active in the chemicals realm (as scholars or practitioners). It also presents a useful starting point for anyone looking to find out more about the international governance of hazardous chemicals. -- Pia M. Kohler, Global Environmental Politics Sometimes a concise, compact book can make its points more convincingly than one packed with details. That is the case hereThis lucid, compelling presentation demonstrates that the time to establish a global chemical management regime is overdue. -- A.S. Casparian, Choice The research that went into producing these case histories is truly impressive -- this book is essential reading for scholars and practitioners working in the area of hazardous chemicals management. -- Megan Mullin, Perspectives on Politics
