Our current intellectual challenge is to develop the analytical and theoretical underpinnings of an understand- ing of the relationship between the social and the natural systems. Our policy challenge is to identify and implement effective decision-making approaches to managing the global environment. The series Global Environmental Accord: Strategies for Sustainability and Institutional Innovation adopts an integrated perspective on na- tional, international, cross-border, and cross-jurisdictional problems, pri- orities, and purposes. It examines the sources and the consequences of social transactions as these relate to environmental conditions and con- cerns. Our goal is to make a contribution to both intellectual and policy endeavors.
