In an increasingly interdependent world, one marked by growing numbers of non-governmental organizations and international institutions, American Foreign Environmental Policy presents a powerful argument for the continued relevance of the state to our understanding of international relations. Drawing on detailed primary research, the author studies the key role central state officials have played in formulating American foreign environmental policy, and concludes that claims for the diminishing domestic-international divide and the erosion of state sovereignty are overstated. This study makes a substantial contribution to International Relations theory, while also offering a wealth of original and empirical data that will interest all who work in the area of environmental studies.

Seller's Description:
First edition. x+262 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in fine dustjacket. In an increasingly interdependent world, marked by growing numbers of non-governmental organizations and international institutions, this book presents an argument for the continued relevance of the state to our understanding of international relations. Drawing on primary research, the author examines the key role central state officials have played in formulating American foreign environmental policy, and concludes that claims for the diminishing domestic-international divide, and the erosion of state sovereignty are overstated. Nonetheless, in arguing that the focus for explanation should lie with politics inside the institutions of state, Hopgood rejects realist, pluralist, and Marxist accounts of foreign-policy making. His state-centric focus allows for domestic and international factors to play a role at the same time as stressing that, in foreign environmental politics at least, the state remains the dominant policy-making institution. This study represents a contribution to international relations theory, whilst at the same time, offering empirical research which will be of interest to all those working in the field of environmental studies.
