In 1993, environmental objections to NAFTA resulted in the establishment of the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), the first international organization created to address issues related to trade and the environment. The CEC is also the first regional environmental agency in North America with innovative tools, almost unlimited jurisdiction, and unprecedented opportunities for participation by civil society at the international level.
The lessons to be drawn from the CEC’s experience should be of great value to all those interested in environmental protection and economic integration, regional and global environmental organizations, and participation of civil society in international policy. Surprisingly, however, the CEC has received little scholarly attention, to date. This book is intended to fill that gap by providing a comprehensive analysis of how the organization has fulfilled, or failed to fulfill, its mandates.
"This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the environment as an integral component of future North American economic development."—H-Net Reviews
"Overall, the quality and standing of the contributors is unusually high. The care and sensitivity [Markell and Knox] use in analyzing their own experience and other relevant data is superb. The stories they tell are important and in most cases fascinating."—The Law and Politics Book Review
