摘要

[First paragraph] Ever wondered how the environmental convention secretariats operate? Or how and why the\udOrganisation on Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) created an environment\uddirectorate? Many of these bureaucracies have not been studied in great detail precisely because\udthey fit within the broader debate over the power and effectiveness of environmental regimes.\udThis volume investigates four environmental convention secretariats (climate, ozone, desertification,\udand biodiversity), the secretariats for the International Maritime Organisation (IMO),\udthe Global Environment Facility (GEF), the United Nations Environment Program, and the environmental\udunits of the World Bank and the OECD. Frank Biermann and Bernd Siebenhu«ner's\udcollection is the result of a four-year ``Managers of global change: effectiveness and learning of\udinternational organisations'' research program
