Global firms in international environmental politics -- Business power and business conflict : a neo-pluralist perspective -- Ozone layer depletion -- Global climate change -- Agricultural biotechnology -- International environmental politics and business power : conclusions and implications.

How powerful is business in international environmental protection? Modern industrial sectorsare often at the root of global environmentalproblems such as global warming and ozone layer depletion, but are they also the main source of inertia and obstruction that often hold back internationalefforts to save the environment? Does the limited successof the Kyoto Protocol process suggest thatthe fossil fuel industry and others can prevent effective climate action? On the other hand, what are we to make of cases such as the Montreal Protocol, which has helpedto reverse the manmade trend towards ozone layer depletion? This book is the result of over ten years of research on internationalenvironmental politics. It puts forward a distinctive theoretical approach and analytical frameworkfor studying business as an international actor in the environmental field, and provides detailed case studies of three of the most important environmental challenges in recent years: the protection of the ozone layer; the politics of global climate change; and theregulation of agricultural biotechnology.
