制度互动和复杂性对环境治理至关重要，并迅速成为国际关系和环境政治文献中的主导主题。本书探讨了国际制度的相互作用及其后果，重点关注两个重要问题：国家和其他行为体如何管理制度互动，以提高协同作用，避免破坏;以及是什么力量推动了制度复合体的出现和演变，共同治理特定问题领域的机构。这本书是全球环境变化研究项目的机构层面的产物，提供了理论和经验的观点。章节范围从分析概述到机构互动，相互作用管理和制度复杂性的案例研究，包括气候变化，渔业管理和生物多样性保护。撰稿人讨论了诸如处理气候变化的分散的多边机构的复杂管理;现有承诺对环境标准可能产生的“寒蝉效应”;北极资源保护方面的治理优势;关于保护和利用植物遗传资源的条约之间的关系;制度普遍性跨案例变化的因果因素;以及世界贸易组织与多边环境协定之间的困难关系。这本书提供了对相互作用管理和机构综合体的研究的广泛概述，为全球环境治理领域提供了重要的见解。
Institutional interaction and complexity are crucial to environmental governance and are quickly becoming dominant themes in the international relations and environmental politics literatures. This book examines international institutional interplay and its consequences, focusing on two important issues: how states and other actors can manage institutional interaction to improve synergy and avoid disruption; and what forces drive the emergence and evolution of institutional complexes, sets of institutions that cogovern particular issue areas. The book, a product of the Institutional Dimensions of Global Environmental Change research project (IDGEC), offers both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Chapters range from analytical overviews to case studies of institutional interaction, interplay management, and regime complexes in areas including climate change, fisheries management, and conservation of biodiversity. Contributors discuss such issues as the complicated management of fragmented multilateral institutions addressing climate change; the possible "chilling effect" on environmental standards from existing commitments; governance niches in Arctic resource protection; the relationships among treaties on conservation and use of plant genetic resources; causal factors in cross-case variation of regime prevalence; and the difficult relationship between the World Trade Organization and multilateral environmental agreements. The book offers a broad overview of research on interplay management and institutional complexes that provides important insights across the field of global environmental governance.
