Abstract:
This review focuses on transnational governance in the minerals and mining sector. Although several initiatives have emerged to address specific governance challenges in this sector, knowledge of these efforts is piecemeal and little is known about patterns in transnational governance development across this issue area. We address these gaps by reviewing the extant research literature and analyzing empirical examples of transnational minerals and mining governance, using the gold sector as an illustrative case. We identify the social, humanitarian, security, and environmental problems manifest along the mineral lifecycle and consider the extent to which existing transnational governance initiatives address these issues. We call for future scholarship that addresses the diversity of transnational governance practices in the minerals and mining sector and explains emergent patterns in the particular forms of governance that dominate this issue area, as well the types of problems that have (and have not) received attention.

Abstract:
This study aims to explore papers and assess how they have been addressing TAN features to understand better and explore a structure for the effectiveness of transnational advocacy networks (TANs) for environmental sustainability. Based on data collected, papers on the thematic of transnational advocacy networks for the environment were selected and explored to understand better what features are shown and under what light. Transnational advocacy networks for environmental issues are common in the literature, as the topic draws the attention of nongovernmental organizations. Many of the papers explore at least one of three pillars among the results, and frequently more than one is brought up into theoretical and empirical discussion. These results highlight specific features among each of the characteristics, building a framework so that TANs may have a path to structure their activities to achieve their goals more effectively. Further studies may advance this knowledge in practice. This study seeks to contribute to the existing literature from a theoretical perspective, integrating and exploring the dimensions of transnational advocacy networks and considering a possible structure to improve their results.

Abstract:
Environmental governance may be distinguished from environmental management by the implication that, in the former, some form of participatory process is involved. Here, the focus is upon the potential for women's movements and networks to influence the principles and practices of global environmental governance (GEG). It is contended that, in principle, women are uniquely placed to oppose the dominant norms informing GEG; and that women's participation would, in consequence, be crucial to the achievement of equitable and environmentally sound forms of governance. In practice, however, a number of factors combine to create divisions between women, and hence to impede transnational mobilization by women around environmental issues. This article examines these issues.

Abstract:
AbstractTransnational environmental law is the subject of growing scholarly interest. Yet, much work remains to be done to fill in both the conceptual and empirical contours of this field. One methodological challenge that transnational law poses is the need to look beyond traditional sources of international and national law. This article contributes to efforts to understand transnational law's multilayered architecture by drawing attention to the use of transnational contracts as a mechanism to protect habitats and species. The diverse and proliferating examples of conservation contracts discussed in this article – which include forest carbon agreements, conservation concessions, debt-for-nature swaps, conservation performance payments, and private protected area agreements – reveal an ongoing and intensifying transnational attempt to use private contracts to address some of the most pressing issues of common concern. This article draws on fairness theory in both contract and international environmental law to argue for law's relevance in interpreting conservation's call for contracts.

Abstract:
Environmental deterioration in Southeast Asia region can be attributed to illegal logging and timber smuggling which contributes to deforestation, wildlife smuggling, black-market transactions in ozone-depleting substances and dumping of other forms of hazardous wastes and chemical, illegal open burning incidents that can lead to air pollution contributing to transnational impacts. Controlling activities that are taking place within one State resulting to environmental impacts in another State is not uncommon in environmental issues and thus, such activities are construed as environmental crimes at times. Hence, any illegal activities within another jurisdiction must be addressed efficiently as the conduct of such activities are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex partly due to the nature of transnational activities that operate beyond national boundaries. This article will discuss transnational environmental crime in Malaysia and Southeast Asia region and assess the application of adopting extra-jurisdictional approach to combat transnational environmental crime by drawing the example from Singapore’s experience of passing the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act 2014 to tackle challenges of haze pollution that are caused by activities in another State. The finding of this article suggests that extra-jurisdictional legislation is a common management tool in international law based on the international principle of territorial sovereign applies to conduct of a State within its territory. There seemed to be an exception that stems from a principle known as ‘objective territoriality principle’ under international law that allows another State to make claims against another State that commits environmental crime resulting to transnational impacts. The efficiency of extra-jurisdictional approach will be analysed based on Malaysia’s experiences in tackling transnational environmental crimes by reviewing domestic policies, local legislations and relevant international agreements to ensure that environmental protection is sustained.

Abstract:
The study of inter-state cooperation on the environment seems an incomplete way of understanding environmental governance in Southeast Asia. Focusing only on state cooperative frameworks and assessing the effectiveness of international regimes in terms of problem-solving not only leads to the conclusion that ASEAN fails to deal with the problems; this approach also fails to find a solution to improve the effectiveness of those regimes. This thesis applies the network approach to understand better the dynamics and potential for cooperation of actual governance activities operating below the level of inter-state cooperation. This thesis proposes that policy networks are a kind of governance mechanism supporting ASEAN environmental cooperation through better processes. To examine the influential role of policy networks on the development of regimes, the transnational haze issue and the illegal transnational trade in wildlife issue are selected as case studies to investigate the relationships between components of the macro-structure of networks and the effectiveness of regimes. A comparison of the two cases reveals the similar role of policy networks in sustaining the environment and supporting environmental policy through functional activities in the policy monitoring and implementation stages. However, varying levels of success in improving the effectiveness of regimes result from different political opportunities, which are determined by the nature of international cooperation problems and the attributes of regimes. Since cooperation in the form of networks can enhance the effectiveness of regimes, the connections between intergovernmental organizations and transnational non-state actors should be considered for developing countries as an option for improving international cooperation in areas that are not priorities for states.

Abstract:
This work examines the place that sustainable development has in the field of international policy and law. The thesis argues that a narrative of balance between different economic, social and environmental aspects, and a narrative of prevention and mitigation of the adverse effects of economic activities upon social development and the environment are rooted at the core of the concept of sustainable development. The study proposes that such narratives can be strategically used in litigation to adequately weigh the social and environmental issues surrounding disputes arising between a private entity and a public authority. By this token, this thesis also aims to determine the extent to which the use of these narratives can bear any effect on claims concerning the determination of the responsibility and liability of the parties to the dispute. This evaluation is carried out using as backdrop to the analysis, the frameworks regulating the activities of deep seabed mining beyond national jurisdiction and foreign investment.
Este trabajo examina el lugar que el desarrollo sostenible ocupa en el área de la política y el Derecho internacional. La tesis que se defiende sostiene que en el núcleo del concepto de desarrollo sostenible se encuentran arraigadas una narrativa de integración entre distintas cuestiones de orden económico, social y ambiental, y otra narrativa de prevención y mitigación de los efectos adversos que las actividades económicas pueden presentar sobre el desarrollo social y el medio ambiente. El estudio propone que estas narrativas pueden ser estratégicamente utilizadas en litigio con el objetivo de integrar adecuadamente las cuestiones sociales y ambientales que se comprenden en las controversias surgidas entre un sujeto privado y una autoridad pública. Así, la tesis busca determinar con qué alcance, el uso de las referidas narrativas puede tener un efecto sobre la determinación de la responsabilidad de las partes de la controversia. El contexto en el cual esta evaluación se lleva a cabo es, por una parte, el marco jurídico internacional que regula las actividades de minería realizadas en el fondo marino más allá de la jurisdicción nacional y, por otro, en aquel que regula la inversión extranjera.

Abstract:
This research provides a novel outlook on the emergence of norms in world politics. Guided by a constructivist theoretical framework and a process tracing methodology, it tests Martha Finnemore and Kathryn Sikkink's pioneering life cycle model of norms (1998) with an unexplored case study. By investigating the processes that led to the legally binding Plastic Waste Amendments of the Basel Convention, it evaluates the model’s main mechanisms and studies the question of ‘How can we explain the emergence of a norm on plastic pollution within the scope of the Basel Convention?’ To do so, it combines an in-depth analysis of the international relations literature, official reports, and carefully selected interviews with actors involved in the global governance of plastic and the World Ocean. This research shows that co-construction processes between ideas, agents, and structures are at play in the emergence of norms. It offers a detailed understanding of the processes of norm emergence in world politics, original insights for the global governance of plastic pollution in the World Ocean, and opportunities to answer the challenges brought by transnational environmental issues. The findings of this research will likely be of particular interest for global environmental governance scholars and to those looking for pathways to foster global cooperation.
Cette recherche offre une perspective nouvelle sur l’émergence des normes en politique mondiale. Guidé par un cadre théorique constructiviste et une méthodologie basée sur le traçage des processus, elle teste le modèle de cycle de vie des normes de Martha Finnemore et Kathryn Sikkink (1998) par l’entremise d’une étude de cas inexplorée. En étudiant les processus qui ont menés aux amendements juridiquement contraignants sur les déchets de plastique de la Convention de Bâle, elle évalue les principaux mécanismes du modèle de cycle de vie des normes et étudie la question suivante : « Comment expliquer l’émergence d’une norme sur la pollution des plastiques dans le cadre de la Convention de Bâle ? ». Pour ce faire, cette étude combine une analyse approfondie de la littérature des relations internationales, des rapports officiels et des entretiens soigneusement sélectionnés avec des acteurs œuvrant dans la gouvernance globale du plastique et de l'océan mondial. Cette recherche montre que des processus de co-construction entre idées, agents et structures contribuent à l'émergence des normes. Cette recherche offre une compréhension détaillée des processus d'émergence des normes en politique mondiale; des perspectives originales pour la gouvernance globale de la pollution plastique dans l'océan mondial; et des opportunités pour relever les défis posés par les enjeux environnementaux transnationaux. Les résultats de cette recherche seront probablement d’intérêt pour les spécialistes de la gouvernance environnementale globale et pour ceux qui cherchent des moyens pour renforcir la coopération mondiale.

The global society has tried to solve environmental problems with transnational cooperation for the past decades. This thesis attempts to analyze China’s bear bile issue to understand the process of transnational advocacy. Bear bile, as Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been used in China for thousands of years. China has started ‘farming bears’ for producing bile more efficiently since 1980’s, a criticized industry which has been exposed by INGOs in 1990’s. The Transnational Advocacy Network (TAN) formed since then with the goal to save bears and close bear farms in China. Enlightened by the hypothesis of Boomerang Pattern, this thesis has explored the interactions and strategies of network actors, as well as factors that determine the fulfillment of the Bear Bile TAN. From ‘information politics,’ ‘leverage politics,’ ‘symbol politics’ and ‘accountability politics,’ the advocacy organizations has manipulated the factors such as international prestige, animal welfare, international convention, economic interests, and so on to persuade consumers, TCM groups, and to lobby Chinese officials to stop farming bears. Due to the fact that Chinese government still has the upper hand, these organizations currently incline to cooperate with the government. This strategical shift results in the failure to fulfill TAN’s goal, despite the fact that TAN did succeed in exposing information and forming alliance. In terms of TANs, the traits of issues and target countries, the connection among NGOs, as well as the timing and approaches of advocacy all contribute to the outcome of networks. To advocate in a non-democratic regime like China challenges the ability to adopt for environmental TANs.

Abstract:
Social science research on environment and activism with a cross- or transnational scope (REACTS) is described as a consolidated but confused, stagnant field of scholarship, one which has yet to surpass the comparable state of international studies at large. Previous reviews of the literature in this growing and interdisciplinary research domain have gone so far as so divide it into either its cross-national or its transnational branch, respectively associated with cross-national and environmental social science (CESS), or transnational and environmental social science (TESS). As evidence of stagnancy, once the CESS and TESS branches of REACTS are combined, changes in the cross-national research agenda have been merely the reverse of the transnational one. From 1969–75, REACTS literature covered the themes of population, catastrophic limits to growth, interstate conferences and organizations, North–South relations, survivalist/lifeboat ethics, resource and land conservation, and the social movement organization/non-governmental organization/"third sector." From 1977–91, the issues covered shifted to emphasize violence/conflict, counter environmentalist backlash, seal hunting, whaling, rural energy (improved bioenergy cookstoves), and possibly baby foods, though the earlier concerns with population, (nature) conservation, interstate conferences and survivalist/lifeboat ethics continued. The resistance literature was considerably consolidated and there was a quantitative change in the attention that environmental activism itself received within the pre-existing orientations. In the post-1992 era, the thematic array of transnational REACTS expanded even further as additional issues made it to the agenda in international and environmental studies.

AbstractTo unpack the role that transnational humanitarian NGOs play in contemporary systems of governance and highlight how they contribute, through their visual production, to the securitization of the refugee issue, it is important to introduce the notions of humanitarianism, global governance, and securitization. Also, since NGOs do not operate in a vacuum but within a highly competitive media environment, it is equally important to reflect on the ways in which humanitarian ideals are translated into their communication strategies and how these fit within the larger communication landscape. This chapter presents the literature and the theoretical framework on which this book is based.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter presents global environmental politics as an important area of international and transnational cooperation and as a distinct field of study. First, as an area of cooperation, global environmental politics emerged out of the need to work together internationally and transnationally to address some pressing environmental problems, such as biodiversity loss, climate change, the depletion of the ozone layer, and the rapid reduction of global fish stocks. Independent state action at the local and national levels is not sufficient to address global environmental issues: these issues require cooperation through global governance. Second, as a field of study, global environmental politics investigates the various dimensions of emerging actions on global environmental issues. It is a diverse field of study from both theoretical and disciplinary perspectives.

This chapter focuses on the case study of China, which is facing grave issues regarding environment and global warming. Hence, the “Airpocalypse” in China led to need and debate about the sustainability of the environment. In this chapter, an effort has been made to analyze the environmental sustainability risk which the country of China can have for the increasing rate of global warming, and how this part of region can have a transnational impact on other neighboring countries when it comes to the cause of making environment pure from pollutants, carbon dioxide, and coal emissions. The methodology of this research is qualitative, descriptive, and analytical in nature. This chapter includes the variable of environmental sustainability which is dependent on the energy consumption of industries of China involved in emission of greenhouse gases.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the political economy of the environment and environmental change. The growth of the world economy is transforming the earth's environment. However, there are sharp disagreements over the nature of this transformation; for example, whether the globalization of capitalism is a force of progress and environmental solutions, or whether it is a cause of our current global environmental crisis. These questions are examined by considering the debates around some of the most contentious issues at the core of economic globalization and the environment: economic growth, production, and consumption; trade; and transnational investment. After providing an overview of the general arguments about how the global political economy affects the global environment, the chapter traces the history of global environmentalism — in particular, the emergence of international environmental institutions with the norm of sustainable development. It concludes by assessing the effectiveness of North–South environmental financing and international environmental regimes.

Abstract:
This case study looks at the creation of a Transnational Framework for e-Learning Technologies. It describes how the original study which aimed to “Develop a Framework for e-Learning” through a given exemplar in a United Kingdom institution, has gone through several iterations. From initially considering e-Tutoring/e-Moderating from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) point of view, to the adoption of Blended Learning as a solution to problems revealed by the Framework. Proceeding to evaluate e-Learning in terms of PESTE (Political, Economic, Social, Technical and Environmental) factors, restated here in the form of STEP (Social, Technological, Economical and Political) factors, which led to the realization of major external issues for e-Learning. Most recently, the study evolved to revisit e-Learning from an HCI and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) perspective, by applying a Cooperative Work Framework. The resulting final incarnation, a Transnational Framework for e-Learning, is thus presented.
