An analysis of the regime for the management of hazardous chemicals, highlighting the insights it provides for effective multilevel governance in other areas.
"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
