Institutions and Environmental Change: Principal Findings, Applications, and Research Frontiers
商品資訊
商品簡介
Studies show that institutions play a role both in causing and in addressing problemsarising from human-environment interactions. But the nature of this role is complex and not easilydescribed. This book presents an overview of recent research on how institutions matter in effortsto tackle such environmental problems as the loss of biological diversity, the degradation offorests, and the overarching issue of climate change. Using the tools of the "newinstitutionalism" in the social sciences, the book treats institutions as sets of rights,rules, and decision-making procedures. Individual chapters present research findings and examinepolicy implications regarding questions of causality, performance, and institutional design as wellas the themes of institutional fit (or misfit), interplay, and scale. Institutions and EnvironmentalChange is the product of a decade-long international research project on the InstitutionalDimensions of Global Environmental Change (IDGEC) carried out under the auspices of theInternational Human Dimensions Programme. The book's policy insights demonstrate that research oninstitutions can provide the basis for practical advice on effective ways to deal with the mostpressing environmental problems of our times.
