    Key actors in UN environmental governance: influence, reform and leadership
    in International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics , Volume 7, Number 4, "The Role of the UN in Global Environmental Governance: Potential for Increased Effectiveness?", December ,  2007 ,  457-468
    In the introductory article it was concluded that the effectiveness of the UN environmental institutions studied was quite low. Key actors, especially the US and the EU, play a considerable role in explaining the course of development in these institutions. However, this does not mean that these processes are mainly state-driven as a number of other factors matter. The potential for reform and increased effectiveness is limited as the main actors, the US the EU and G-77/China have very different interests and perceptions as to the future directions of these institutions.
