Pardee Faculty Fellows Chapters in Book on Global Environment

Pardee Center Director Prof. Adil Najam and Pardee Center Faculty Fellow Prof. Henrik Selin both have chapters in a new edition of one of the widely used edited collections on global environmental politics, The Global Environment: Institutions, Law and Policy. The book, now in its third and expanded edition, is edited by Regina S. Axelrod, Stacy D. Vandeveer and David L. Downie (CQ Press), and is a past winner of the Choice Outstanding Academic Award.

Prof. Adil Najam’s chapter is titled “The View from the South: Developing Countries in Global Environmental Politics” and builds on his many earlier works on the topic and traces how environmental politics has evolved in developing countries and why developing countries tend to take the positions they do in global environmental politics.

Prof. Henrik Selin’s chapter is titled “Global Politics and Policy of Hazardous Chemicals” and builds on his recent book on the subject and extends the arguments he had made in his recent Pardee Center Paper on “Managing Hazardous Chemicals: Longer-Range Challenges.”

The book brings together original articles by some of the leading scholars in the field and is widely used as a teaching text in major international universities.
