      abstract = {This book examines why some international environmental  regimes succeed while others fail. Confronting theory with  evidence, and combining qualitative and quantitative  analysis, it compares fourteen case studies of  international regimes. It considers what effectiveness in a  regime would look like, what factors might contribute to  effectiveness, and how to measure the variables. It  determines that environmental regimes actually do better  than the collective model of the book predicts. The  effective regimes examined involve the End of Dumping in  the North Sea, Sea Dumping of Low-Level Radioactive Waste,  Management of Tuna Fisheries in the Pacific, and the Vienna  Convention and Montreal Protocol on Ozone Layer Depletion.  Mixed-performance regimes include Land-Based Pollution  Control in the North Sea, the Convention on Long-Range  Transboundary Air Pollution, Satellite Telecommunication,  and Management of High Seas Salmon in the North Pacific.  Ineffective regimes are the Mediterranean Action Plan, Oil  Pollution from Ships at Sea, International Trade in  Endangered Species, the International Whaling Commission,  and the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine  Living Resources.},
