Thomas Nielebock asked for WS perspectives on ozone treaties... not much out there, to toot my horn I wrote a piece in Sociological Inquiry 1996 about "Predicting Participation in Enviro Treaties: A World-System Analysis." Vol .66, no. 1. 38-57. There are now a lot of books like Swift's _Global Political Ecology_, Steven Yearley's _Sociology, Environmentalism, Globalization_, and several on how global enviro movements are affecting capitalism and global politics.

Good luck.
