Other News
Le Prestre reported that ESS sponsored 23 panels at the Toronto meetings, six of which were where co-sponsored with other sections. ESS ranked 5th among the eighteen ISA sections sponsoring panels and accounted for 5.5% of all panels at the meetings. A number of additional panels on environmental subjects were sponsored by other sections, so the number of ESS panels does not fully reflect the growing interest in environmental issues in ISA.
Recipients of the 1997 Junior Scholars Travel Grants were Kate O’Neill (Columbia University) and Brian Potter (UCLA). The selection committee was comprised of Ronald Mitchell, Paul Wapner, and Philippe Le Prestre.
A Junior Scholars Award will be instituted by the Section for the best paper presented by a graduate student on the subject of international environmental affairs at each annual ISA meeting. Nominations for this award are to be made within one month of the conference. The Executive Committee will develop criteria for the award.
As of February 1997, ESS had a financial balance of $2,216.63. Expenses during the past year included approximately $600 for the newsletter, $600 for the junior scholars travel grants, and $430 for the reception at the 1996 ISA meetings. Expenditures exceeded income by approxi-mately $260. Travel grants were reduced to $350 in 1997.
THE 1998 ISA MEETINGS
Next year’s ISA meetings will be held in Minneapolis, March 17-21, 1998. The theme for the meetings is “The Westphalian System in Global and Historical Perspective.” Proposals for papers and/or panels for the ESS sponsored panels are to submitted both to the ISA program chair Bob Denemark, University of Delaware AND the ESS chair Philippe Le Prestre, University of Quebec at Montreal. The deadline is July 1, 1997. They may be submitted by mail, fax, or E-mail. A proposal form is attached to this newsletter.
INTERNATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF GLOBAL CHANGE COMMITTEE
The ESS has been asked by the ISA Governing Council International Studies Association (ISA) to organize and oversee the Committee on the International Dimensions of Global Change (to be known as the IHDP Committee). The ESS chair will appoint the nine member committee, which will include representatives from ESS and the various other study sections of ISA with an interest in global environmental change. Marvin Soroos (North Carolina State) took charge and drafting a revised charter for the committee, which was approved at the ESS business meeting at the Toronto ISA meetings.
The committee’s charge is both to keep the ISA members informed about the projects of the International Human Dimensions of Global Change Programme (IHDP), now based in Bonn, Germany, and to facilitate their participation in the work of the program. Toward this end, the ESS sponsored a panel on the IHDP at Toronto ISA meetings, which included an overview of the IHDP by Arild Underdal (Oslo University and vice-chair of the IHDP Scientific Committee) and briefings of scoping reports for two prospective core projects on the Institutional Dimensions of Global Change by Oran Young (Dartmouth College) and Global Environmental Change and Human Security by Steve Lonergan (University of Victoria). For further information, contact Marvin S. Soroos, chair of the ISA IHDP Committee (addresses below the newsletter masthead above.
A number of ESS members will be attending the Open Meeting of the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change Research Community to be held at IIASA in Laxenburg, Austria, June 12-14, 1997.
BOOKS BY ESS AUTHORS
L. Anathea Brooks and Stacy D. VanDeveer, eds., Saving the Seas: Values, Scientists, and International Governance. College Park, MD: Maryland Sea Grant Book, 1997, 480 pp, $30 cloth.
This books focuses on the state of largely enclosed, coastal seas, such as Puget Sound, the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, the North, Mediterranean, Baltic, and Seto Inland Seas. These seas contain highly productive, but seriously threatened, ecosystems. It contains a eighteen articles that explore wide ranging issues, including values, science, and international governance in search of answers to the questions of why and how we should save the world’s coastal seas.
Donald Munton, ed., Hazardous Waste Siting and Democratic Choice, Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press, 1996, pp 406,
This volume analyzes the politics of siting noxious facilities in developed countries (USA, Canada, Germany, and Japan) and explores promising new approaches to siting based on voluntary choice by host communities. Contributors include Barry Rabe, Michael Kraft, David Morell, Howard Kunreuther, Christopher Zeiss, Alun Richards, Clyde Hertzman, Aleck Ostry, Susan Elliott, S. Martin Taylor, Robert Seeliger, Geoffrey Castle, William Gunderson, Peter Harbage, and Donald Munton.
Peter Dauvergne, Shadows in the Forest: Japan and the Politics of Timber in Southeast Asia. Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, June 1997, 336 pp. $22.00 paper, $45.00 cloth.
The author develops the concept of a “shadow ecology” to assess the total environmental impact of one country on resource management in another country or area, in this case Japan’s effect on commercial timber management in Indonesia, East Malaysia, and the Philippines. Japan’s shadow ecology has stimulated unsustainable logging, which in turn has triggered widespread deforestation in Indonesia, East Malaysia, and the Philippines. In particular, it highlights links between state officials and business leaders that reduce state funds, distort policies, and protect illegal and unsustainable loggers.

This is a collection of 15 chapters on international institutions that in some way have a bearing on the environment. The authors are a diverse both in nationality and occupational background. Most of the chapters focus on one or two institutions, such as the UN General Assembly and Security Council, World Bank, IMF, UN Commission on Sustainable Development, UNEP, NAFTA, European Union, OECD, and International Court of Justice. Others look at certain types of institutions such as Conferences of the Parties to International Treaties, NGOs, and Nonstate Actors, and National Environmental Funds. The volume is primarily useful for the detailed descriptive material on, and analyses of, the specific international institutions. The chapters are not bound together by a common framework nor is there a concluding chapter that draws general conclusions (graduate)

PROJECTS
Since 1992, the Trade and Environment Database (TED) Project, directed by Dr. James Lee, has investigated the intersection of trade and the environment in a variety of ways and a variety of media. One effort has made available over 350 case studies on trade and its relation to the environment. The cases are posted on a website where over 20,000 people annually access. The cases can be sorted by Legal, Trade, Geographic, and Environmental clusters. The TED projects have also undertaken papers providing a cross analysis of the cases. Other projects of the TED include papers cross-analyzing attributes of certain cases, research on culture and its relationship to trade and the environment, research on economic impacts on trade and the environment, the “Trade and Environment News” newsletter, and a video project seeking to convey trade and environment issues through a multi-media forum. An article compiling information collected through the TED projects appeared in Ecological Economics, 19 (1996) 19-33, entitled “Basic Attributes of Trade and Environment: What do the Numbers Tell Us?” For more information about the TED projects, see the TED webpage at http://gurukul.ucc.american.edu/ted/ted.htm or write:
