Abstract
International environmental regulation can be conceptualized as reactions of national governments to international pollution exchange and domestic political processes. While there has been a proliferation of theories and studies of the impact of pollution on a country’s preferences for international environmental regulation (see below), very little is known about the domestic political processes which are associated with the regulation of the international environment. The purpose of this article is to contribute to filling this gap in social science knowledge on the protection of the international environment.
The most portentous development in the fields of comparative politics and international relations in recent years is the dawning recognition among practitioners in each field of the need to take into account entanglements between the two.
