""This book presents a thoughtful and deeply researched account of how international environmental law can achieve the transformation that the global environment demands. Its recommendations highlight that internalising international environmental law goes far beyond the state, and indeed ultimately requires participation and cooperation on the local level."" Dr Emily Lydgate, Deputy Director UK Trade Policy Observatory, Reader, Sussex Law School “This book offers an important and insightful discussion on the effectiveness of international environmental law and governance, addressing the pivotal question of how to strengthen and enhance compliance with international environmental norms. As such, it will be a valuable reading for academics, researchers and policy-makers interested in understanding how to improve international environmental law and make it work effectively."" Dr Emanuela Orlando, Lecturer in Environmental Law, School of Law, Politics and Sociology, University of Sussex
