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.Drawing on a wealth of empirical evidence spanning a century of environmental rule making, Green shows how the delegation of authority to private actors has played a small but consistent role in multilateral environmental agreements over the past fifty years, largely in the area of treaty implementation. This contrasts with entrepreneurial authority, where most private environmental rules have been created in the past two decades. Green traces how this dynamic and fast-growing form of private authority is becoming increasingly common in areas ranging from organic food to green building practices to sustainable tourism. She persuasively argues that the configuration of state preferences and the existing institutional landscape are paramount to explaining why private authority emerges and assumes the form that it does. In-depth cases on climate change provide evidence for her arguments.Groundbreaking in scope, Rethinking Private Authority demonstrates that authority in world politics is diffused across multiple levels and diverse actors, and it offers a more complete picture of how private actors are helping to shape our response to today's most pressing environmental problems"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $t Atmospheric accountants : entrepreneurial authority and the greenhouse gas protocol. $t Agents of the state : a century of delegation in international environmental law -- $t Governors of the market : the evolution of entrepreneurial authority -- $t Atmospheric police : delegated authority in the clean development mechanism -- $t Atmospheric accountants : entrepreneurial authority and the greenhouse gas protocol. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $x International cooperation. 650 0 $a Public-private sector cooperation. 650 0 $a Non-governmental organizations. 650 0 $a Environmental law, International. 650 0 $a Industrial management $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Corporations $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Business enterprises $x Environmental aspects. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Environmental Economics. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Environmental Policy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Business enterprises $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842556 650 7 $a Corporations $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879839 650 7 $a Environmental law, International. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913170 650 7 $a Environmental policy $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913284 650 7 $a Industrial management $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00971283 650 7 $a Non-governmental organizations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038524 650 7 $a Public-private sector cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083445 941 $a 2 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724071908.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217030617.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=660E21ECBEE311E3B118CA8BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
