Reviews
'Governing Global Biodiversity is a significant contribution to the emerging field of biodiplomacy. This pioneering work provides a firm intellectual foundation for further research and serves as a rich source of insights on international politics. It has no parallels.' Calestous Juma, Harvard University, USA 'In the aftermath of the World Summit on Sustainable Development, issues pertaining to the implementation of international agreements have come into focus as never before. Examining the Convention on Biological Diversity as a prominent example, this book sheds new light on a range of factors governing the transition of international regimes from paper to practice.' Oran Young, Director, Institute on International Environmental Governance, Dartmouth College, USA '...illustrates well the complexity of the current political debate...' Swiss Forestry Journal '...this book offers a political analysis of the CBD. It convincingly shows that the Convention goes beyond conservation, and includes the essentials of sustainable development...The book is most complete, very well written and referenced...It provides a set of necessary and very informative annexes, including a chronology and the full text of the Convention.' International Journal of Environment and Pollution 'Overall, specialists on the legal aspects of biodiversity conservation and those interested in the mechanics of one of the less studies and newest international environmental agreements will find this book helpful...for those academics interested in learning more about hos the biodiversity convention came about and what challenges it faces, this is a useful volume.' International Environmental Agreements
