How does a small, developing country influence events at the United Nations? This book provides a political and diplomatic analysis of the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development (UNCED), a special conference which took place over the period from 1989 to 1992, as seen through the eyes of a leader of Malaysia.
<p class=copymedium><b>Malaysia and UNCED</b> examines the process and substance of the UNCED negotiations, including negotiation case studies of key topics such as forests, biological diversity, climate change, and the cross-sectoral issues of finance and technology transfer.

<p class=copymedium>Finally, it assesses the results of UNCED and attempts to predict its future as seen through the newly created Commission on Sustainable Development.
