Dear all,
Similar request to my previous one. I want to close off my course by reviewing how international environmental agreements are implemented and whether countries comply with IEAs (e.g., what factors drive compliance? How do we define compliance? What can we do to push countries that are not signatories to engage?). This is the kind of discussion I want to spark.
If memory serves me right, Ron Mitchell, Antonia Chayes Hayes and Abram Hayes have done a lot of work on compliance. I think the edited volume by Weiss and Jacobson too. Am I missing anything? I probably am, so your help would be greatly appreciated. And PDFs would definitely be VERY appreciated!!!! since I am nowhere near my personal library.

Warm regards (really warm, it's 28 oC here right now!) Raul -- --Raul
