ABSTRACT
International regimes are established through negotiation processes to address regional and global problems that can only be solved if all parties coordinate their efforts. Built into these regimes is the potential to adjust or modernize the initiating agreement through post-agreement negotiations. This chapter examines practical assistance that was provided to global environmental negotiators in the early 1990s to help them design the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) and the subsequent regimes that followed as a result of post-agreement negotiations.
