The chapters collected in this volume provide a rich set of cases and an important and original theoretical framework for studying the impacts of NGOs on international environmental politics. It should be widely read and assigned in courses on global environmental politics, social movements, international organizations, and politics. In particular, questions of actual NGO influence on international politics are critical to the fields this book addresses and have not yet been addressed by other works, especially to the degree of methodological rigor which this book attains. --Kate O'Neill, Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, University of California, Berkeley Without doubt, this book will become the new standard in efforts to explore the roles that NGOs play in international environmental negotiations. --Oran Young, Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California, Santa Barbara
