![]() | Rethinking Private Authority: Agents and Entrepreneurs in Global Environmental Governance Subjects: Environmental policy -- International cooperation; Public-private sector cooperation; Non-governmental organizations; Environmental law International; Industrial management -- Environmental aspects; Corporations -- Environmental aspects; Business enterpr; Rethinking Private Authority examines the role of non-state actors in global environmental politics, arguing that a fuller understanding of their role requires a new way of conceptualizing private authority. Jessica Green identifies two distinct forms of private authority--one in which states delegate authority to private actors, and another in which entrepreneurial actors generate their own rules, persuading others to adopt them. Jessica F. Green is assistant professor of political science at Case Western Reserve University. She is the coeditor of The Politics of Participation in Sustainable Development Governance and Reforming International Environmental Governance . |
