The global commons — the oceans, Antarctica, outer space and the atmosphere — are beyond the control of any government. How, then, can the governments of some 180 or more sovereign states co-operate effectively to protect and sustain the often fragile environment of the commons? This book develops and applies the tools of regime analysis to the question of how the various global commons are, or fail to be, governed effectively. New edition extensively rewritten and expanded.
