The title of the article is “Making a model: the 1974 Nordic Environmental Protection Convention and Nordic attempts to form environmental law”<\/a> and adds to the current discourse of environmental governance, for example embodied by the recent Stockholm +50 UN-Conference<\/a> on the human environment, which took place in Sweden’s capital in June.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This article investigates the 1974 Nordic Environmental Protection<\/span> Convention. It shows that the ulterior motives for such a convention<\/span> were Nordic ambitions to regulate and reduce transboundary pol<\/span>lution originating outside of the Nordic region. Emphasizing the<\/span> inter-organizational dynamics between institutionalized Nordic<\/span> cooperation and international organizations, it examines how the<\/span> Nordics drew on developments within international organizations <\/span>and how they pursued their agenda of shaping international envir<\/span>onmental law within the OECD. Ultimately, the article argues that<\/span> the Nordic countries tried to create a model convention to be<\/span> exported to and implemented at the international level with the<\/span> aim of reducing transboundary pollution and establishing transna<\/span>tional responsibilities and accountabilities. By setting out this argu<\/span>ment and shedding light on the first legally binding international<\/span> convention to address transboundary pollution with procedural<\/span> principles, the article breaks new ground on the history of Nordic<\/span> environmental cooperation as well as on the development of inter<\/span>national environmental law.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
