This compelling book reconstructs the dynamics of those negotiations, based on eye-witness accounts.

These individual accounts are integrated into an edited volume that provides a multi-dimensional assessment of the negotiating process, focusing on the competitive and co-operative interactions among nations, regional alliances, international institutions, corporations and non-governmental organisations. Book Description: The signing of a Framework Convention on Climate Change at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro ended two years of intense and dramatic negotiation.
