The Making of International Environmental Treaties - Neoliberal and Constructivist Analyses of Normative Evolution Autor Nagtzaam G. Fecha 2009 Fuente IUCN (ID: MON-093243) Editor | Lugar de publicación Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd | Cheltenham, United Kingdom ISBN 978-1-84844-422-5 Tipo de documento Monografía/libro Idioma Inglés Campo de aplicación Internacional Materia Medio ambiente gen., Cuestiones jurídicas Palabra clave Acuerdo internacional-implementación Acuerdo internacional-texto Política/planificación Resumen The book explores why some global environmental treaties seek to preserve and protect some parts of nature from human utilization, some seek to conserve certain parts of nature for human development, whilst others allow the reckless exploitation of nature without accounting for the consequences. It tracks the fate of these three underlying environmental norms – preservation, conservation and exploitation – using case studies on whaling, mining in Antarctica and tropical timber. The book illustrates how international political battles to shape environmental regimes inevitably result in clashes between these competing environmental norms.
