From the Editors' Introduction...

This is latest volume of Papers on International Environmental Treaty-Making presenting the best written work of MIT, Tufts and Harvard graduate students enrolled in our advanced graduate seminar. The range of papers in this volume suggests that there are a number of important resource management issues, such as space debris, renewable energy and hydrodiplomacy, that still need to be addressed through additional transboundary treaty-making efforts (regardless of how many treaties we already have). Other concerns like genetically modified organisms, climate change, the environmental impacts of international trade agreements, and fisheries management, already the subject of one or more treaties, require further attention.

The papers in this volume include:

• "Convention on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)," by Corey O'Hara and Sarah Borron
• "Protocol for a Space Debris Risk and Liability Convention," by Thierry Sénéchal
• "Moving Forward on Trade Measures in Multilateral Environmental Agreements," by Yen Trinh
• "Improving Public Education on Global Environmental Treaties: Using the Basel Convention as an Example," by Susan McDonald
• "Capacity Building and a Renewable Energy Protocol to the 155 Climate Change Convention," by Myrna Johnson
• "A Process and Implementation Protocol for the UNFCC (Climate Change)," by Jonathan Phillips
• "Strengthening International Fisheries Regimes: Regulating Flags of Non-Compliance," by Brendan Leucke
• "Building Adaptive Capacity into Transboundary Water Regimes," by Anna Schulz
• "HydroDiplomacy: Negotiating a Regional Ridge to Reef Approach to the World's Water Crisis," by Georgia Kayser
