Biography
Dr Helmut Breitmeier is based at Fernuniversität in Hagen, Germany.
’Combining keen theoretical insights, exciting new empirical material, and careful analysis, Breitmeier's book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how nonstate actors of all types promote the legitimacy - and hence the effectiveness - of international environmental regimes and thereby improve global governance and social order.’ Ronald B. Mitchell, University of Oregon, USA 'This book provides an analytically sophisticated and empirically rich explanation of patterns of legitimacy in international governance.

This is a creative blend of quantitative and qualitative scholarship applied to a challenging and important topic.' Marc A. Levy, Columbia University, USA
