In this book Robert Darst examines transnational efforts to promote environmental protection in the USSR and in five of its successor states--Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania--from the late 1960s to the present. The core of the book is a comparative study of three key issues: nuclear power safety, transboundary air pollution, and Baltic Sea pollution. Although expectations were high that the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the Soviet Union would lead to increased East-West environmental cooperation, the opposite has been true. Russia and the other successor states have generally agreed to address such problems only when paid to do so. Darst finds that post-Cold War environmental cooperation has been most successful when there is an overlap between the environmental and economic interests of the successor states and those of their Western neighbors, and when the foundation for cooperation was laid during the Cold War period. The book is based on extensive original field research, including interviews with diplomats, government officials, scientists, and environmental activists in the successor states and Western Europe. Its findings underscore the importance of the domestic and international political context in which international environmental policy making occurs. It also deepens our understanding of the opportunities and dangers of positive inducements as a tool of international environmental policy. 001386071 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386071 650_0 $$aEnvironmental protection$$xInternational cooperation$$vCase studies. 001386071 650_0 $$aEnvironmental policy$$xInternational cooperation$$vCase studies. 001386071 650_0 $$aMarine pollution$$zBaltic Sea$$vCase studies. 001386071 650_0 $$aAir$$xPollution$$vCase studies. 001386071 650_0 $$aTransboundary pollution$$vCase studies. 001386071 650_0 $$aNuclear power plants$$xSafety measures$$vCase studies. 001386071 653__ $$aENVIRONMENT/Environmental Politics & Policy 001386071 653__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/International Relations & Security 001386071 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386071 852__ $$bebk 001386071 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/6278.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386071 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386071 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386071$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386071 980__ $$aBIB 001386071 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386071 982__ $$aEbook 001386071 983__ $$aOnline
