Summary
This book is the outcome of an interdisciplinary research group called Transnational Institutions on Evironment (TIE) involving scholars in the fields of international and comparative environmental law, the sociology and politics of global govenance, and the scientific study of global climate change. It is meant as a contribution to Institutional Dimensions of Global Environmental Change (IDGEC), one of the core projects of the International Human Dimensions Program (IHDP). The idea to launch the project was born in the National Committee Global Environmental Change Research of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) which also sponsored some of the meetings of the group. The DFG Collaborative Research Center ‘Transformations of the State’ at the University of Bremen provided an intellectual background for the project.
