      abstract = {"In the late 2000s, ordinary citizens in Jamaica and  Mexico demanded that government put a stop to lucrative but  environmentally harmful economic development activities --  bauxite mining in Jamaica and large-scale tourism and  overfishing on the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula.  In each case, the catalyst for the campaign was information  gathered and disseminated by transnational advocacy  networks (TANs) of researchers, academics, and activists.  Both campaigns were successful despite opposition from  industry supporters. Meanwhile, simultaneous campaigns to  manage land in another part of the Yucatán and to conserve  migratory birds in Egypt had far less success.  Fuentes-George uses these four cases to analyze factors  that determine the success or failure of efforts by TANs to  persuade policymakers and private sector actors in  developing countries to change environmental  behavior."--Provided by publisher.},
