内容説明

The drive to protect the planet against the effects of ozone layer depletion began not long ago with the derided theories of a handful of iconoclastic scientists. Most observers believed that an international accord to limit the use of chemicals essential to modern life would be impossible in the face of scientific uncertainties and the opposition of powerful commerical interests. But in an amazingly short time we now have as precedent-setting treaty to protect the Earth: the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer. Ambassador Richard Benedick, who was the chief U.S negotiator for this landmark agreement, offers an insider's view of the politics, the economics, the science, and the diplomacy surrounding efforts to protect the ozone layer. He analyzes the issues, the players, and the diplomatic maneuvers and finds useful models for international approaches to such other emerging issues as global warming. "Ozone Diplomacy" provides a portrayal of the participants in this dynamic process, from persevering scientists to reluctant industrialists to resourceful officials. what began as an internecine struggle among industrialized nations for commercial position evolved by 1990 into a truly global revised treaty with stronger controls and unprecedented provisions for transfer of funds and technology to developing countries.
