OZONE CONNECTIONS: EXPERT NETWORKS IN GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE

Penelope Canan and Nancy Reichman. Sheffield, UK: Greenleaf Publishing, 2002. (0)[e-mail]. www.greenleaf-publishing.com. 228 pp. 40.00 [pounds sterling] Hardbound.

In Ozone Connections: Expert Networks in Global Environmental Governance, Penelope Canan and Nancy Reichman explore numerous factors that they feel have made the 1987 Montreal Protocol for the Elimination of Ozone-Depleting Substances successful. These factors include political will, treaty flexibility, and the recognition of equity issues raised by developing countries. In addition, the book suggests that social organizations of global governance, such as the Protocols Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP), played an important role in the Protocol's success and that although the panel is unique, it is also a model that can be replicated for future efforts toward international environmental cooperation.

THE ECONOMIC DYNAMICS OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

David M. Driesen. Cambridge, Massachusetts: the MIT Press, 2003. [phone]. http://mitpress.mit.edu. 268 pp. $24.95 Softbound.

In The Economic Dynamics of Environmental Law, David Driesen argues that environmental policy making in the United States has been poorly served by the dominant, static view of the relationship between environmental regulation and the economy, technology, and business. Driesen concludes that basing public policy on economic efficiency distorts what is necessary and achievable in environmental lawmaking. In the context of shifting away from this economic view of lawmaking, Driesen discusses privatizing environmental law, reforming administrative and international legal processes, and improving regulatory design.

David M. Driesen is Associate Professor at the Syracuse University College of Law.

NATIVE WATERS: CONTEMPORARY INDIAN WATER SETTLEMENTS AND THE SECOND TREATY ERA

Daniel McCool. Tucson, Arizona: the University of Arizona Press, 2002. [phone]. www.uapress.arizona.edu. 260 pp. $45.00 Clothbound.

In Native Waters: Contemporary Indian Waters Settlements and the Second Treaty Era Daniel McCool argues that recent settlements regarding Native American water rights are so significant that they constitute a second treaty era. By describing many of these settlements, McCool illustrates how America is attempting to rectify its relationship with its own indigenous people while pointing out that how we deal with Native American water claims will reflect how we handle race, culture, and environmental issues as a nation.
