International environmental regimes are dynamic institutions for international governance in rapidly changing issue-areas. They comprise cooperative arrangements and permanent negotiation processes. This volume examines international governance by environmental regimes empirically and theoretically. It thoroughly explores the formation and development of the regimes on long-range transboundary air pollution and the protection of the ozone layer. Subsequently it develops a theoretical concept of norms and institutions that draws attention to the important role of negotiations and collective decision-making for the improvement of sub-optimal outcomes. Dynamic international regimes are conceived of as institutions that are highly suitable for international policy-making.
