Field Dynamics in Global Environmental Regulation: Implementing the Montreal Protocol

地球臭氧层的耗尽是一个具有全球重要性的严重问题。1987年通过了消除臭氧消耗物质的国际协定--《蒙特利尔议定书》。这项研究的重点不是条约和这一创新协议所取得的共识，而是社会关系的模式、共享的社会经验和导致执行的谈判行动。未来的环境监管行动将得益于对社区建设和维护、信息流和体制发展机制的社会科学理解，这些机制对实施进程至关重要。这项研究使用定量和定性的方法来评估臭氧监管社区的结构，组织社区行动的社会机制，以及社区结构和动态对臭氧保护参与者的职业生涯、监管谈判的结果和未来环境保护的影响。定量部分将使用调查数据的回归和网络分析来评估臭氧管制场的结构和未来的组织设计。深入访谈将用来阐明参与者的基本用途和可接受的替代方案以及职业道路。地球臭氧层的耗尽是一个严重的全球性问题。1987年通过了消除臭氧消耗物质的国际协定--《蒙特利尔议定书》。这项研究的重点不是条约和这一创新协议所取得的共识，而是社会关系的模式、共享的社会经验和导致执行的谈判行动。未来的环境监管行动将得益于对社区建设和维护、信息流和体制发展机制的社会科学理解，这些机制对实施进程至关重要。这项研究使用定量和定性的方法来评估臭氧监管社区的结构，组织社区行动的社会机制，以及社区结构和动态对臭氧保护参与者的职业生涯、监管谈判的结果和未来环境保护的影响。定量部分将使用调查数据的回归和网络分析来评估臭氧管制场的结构和未来的组织设计。深入访谈将用来阐明参与者的基本用途和可接受的替代方案以及职业道路。

The depletion of the planetary ozone layer is a serious problem of global importance. The international agreement to eliminate ozone depleting substances, the Montreal Protocol, was adopted in 1987. Rather than focusing on the treaty and the consensus captured by this innovative agreement, this research focuses on patterns of social relationships, shared social experiences, and negotiated actions that result in implementation. Future environmental regulatory action will benefit from a social scientific understanding of the mechanisms of community building and maintenance, information flow, and institutional development that are fundamental to the implementation process. This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the structure of the ozone regulatory community, the social mechanisms that organize community action, and the effects of community structure and dynamics on the careers of ozone protection actors, the outcomes of regulatory negotiation , and future environmental protection. The quantitative component will use regression and network analysis of survey data to evaluate the structure of ozone regulatory field and the organizational designs for the future. In-depth interviews will be used to elucidate stories of essential uses and acceptable alternatives as well as career paths of the participants. %%% The depletion of the planetary ozone layer is a serious problem of global importance.
