Summary
Environmental non-governmental organizations, in recent years, have grown in size and in number as a result of governmental negligence toward the world's environmental crisis. Environmental NGOs in World Politicsexamines how NGOs have grown in importance to a point where the act as key arbitrating agents within the field of environmental policy. By inter-relating global and local concerns, NGOs find themselves able to not only emphasize important ecological issues, but also raise consciousness about the environment. Drawing upon the cases of the Greak Lakes water negotiatios, the ivory trade ban and protection of the Antartic's environment, Thomas Pincen and Matthias Finger not only present the scope and diversity of NGO activity, but the challenging difficulties and tensions which face them as well.
