First sentence: I started thinking about the subject of this book on September 17, 1987, after reading in the London newspapers that an international agreement had been signed the previous day in Montreal.
Description: "How did the Montreal Protocol succeed in helping to protect the earth's ozone layer? Why did the Kyoto Protocol fail to materially dampen global climate change? Are treaties really needed? Can they be made to work better? This book develops a theory to answer these questions - one that integrates the approaches used in economics, political science, international law, and game theory."--Jacket.
