"""In an era of globalisation-where issues of distinct social, human and cultural capital seem to be blurred, where real participation and honest camaraderie seem to be dwindling-here come the two authors to chart a path based on the significance of all these factors, reminding us to keep watching that they do not slip out of our hands . . . a marvellous job.' Mostafa K. Tolba, President, International Centre of Environment and Development (ICED), Former Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). 'The success of the efforts to phase out use of the ozone-depleting substances in thousands of industries owes significantly to the dedicated network of more than 500 experts, from around the world, of the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP) of the Montreal Protocol. Penelope Canan and Nancy Reichman present a penetrating analysis of how this network has been built up and sustained. The analysis has valuable lessons to offer to any organisation venturing to solve global problems.' K.M. Sarma, Former Executive Director of the Montreal Protocol Secretariat. ' In the final analysis, the implementation of environmental treaties depends on the effort, motivation and commitment of the people involved. Canan and Reichman offer a fascinating and innovative analysis of the evolution of one particular community and its impact on the operation of the Montreal Protocol. Anyone interested in the human side of environmental agreements should read this book.' Duncan Brack, Head, Energy and Environment Programme, The Royal Institute of International Affairs. 'Considering the many excellent accounts given of the successful ozone story, I did not think it possible to add much new insight. This book clearly shows I was wrong. It is a fascinating and mostly untold story of the real-world possibilities and constraints facing key people in the making and implementation of ozone policy.' Steinar Andresen, Professor of Political Science, University of Oslo and senior researcher at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute."""
