International environmental governance : an international regime for protected areas

Scanlon, John, ed.; Burhenne-Guilmin, Françoise, ed.

IUCN, Environmental Law Centre; IUCN, Environmental Law Programme; Canada, Parks Canada

With ‘good governance’ firmly entrenched on the international agenda, this publication analyses the trends affecting protected area governance at the international level, and goes on to explore emerging issues concerning certification, standards, partnerships and funding mechanisms. It does not seek to prescribe the answers, rather it seeks to clearly articulate the issues, the competing arguments, and the challenges that all need to be addressed as we strive for the optimal protected area governance arrangements.
