Description
This book explores ratification processes in democratic systems as the crucial legislative phase of international treaty cooperation. It sheds light on the actors and conditions that shape the post-commitment politics phase, with special attention to the role of norms and executive strategies for ratification. The study compares eighteen original case studies of treaty ratification successes, failures, and near-failures across five different democracies. Treatiesexamined include the Kyoto Protocol, North American Free Trade Agreement, the European Constitution, the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, and theMaastricht Treaty on European Union.
