| Summary/Abstract |
As global environmental degradation continues to highlight the interdependence of nation states, Sino-Japanese environmental cooperation is certainly on the way. Deeper insight into environmental regimes shows that traditional methods of power politics, military power, or assigning blame in order to bargain competitively are often non-starters when both parties will suffer if goals remain unmet. A Global Environmental Mechanism is here proposed as new means for collective action by China and Japan, one that would enhance their bilateral environmental cooperation.
