ABSTRACT
To explore the explanatory power of this adapted framework, six cases of regional environmental agreements and processes were analyzed using this framework. They are representative of the diversity of ecoregions in the world and include two examples from terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystem types. The case studies include an analysis of the social, economic and political settings, of government and nongovernment organizations, of the network structure, of property-rights systems, of operational, collective and constitutional-choice rules, as well as monitoring and sanctioning rules.
