LECTURE NOTES IN GLOBALLOCAL POLICY INTERACTIONS

by Ariel Dinar (University of California, Riverside, USA)

Lecture Notes in Global-Local Policy Interactions discusses the process of building and managing a global public policy and the interaction of public policies at the global and local (national/regional) levels. This book demonstrates the global negative externalities from under-regulation of various activities by one agent/country that affect the well-being of other agents/countries, and the design of policies (agreements) to reduce the impacts of such externalities. Possible opposed interests to global policies of local stakeholders and the (local) policies they established to tackle such externalities in their jurisdictions are included as well. The book introduces concepts and principles associated with conflict, negotiation and cooperation, all of which are part of policy reform and design. It explores to various extents the global-local interactions that are related to selected global policies. Contents: Introduction; Globalization and Global Policies; Concepts and Principles of Conflict; Concepts and Principles of Negotiation; Domestic Interests and International Negotiation; Concepts and Principles of Cooperation; Climate Change Policy; The CDM as a Cooperative Mechanism; Shaping Global Policies by International Organizations; Annex of Case Studies.

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students interested in global policies, researchers and practitioners.
