Objetivo This project looks at how international organizations influence the creation and implementation of international environmental agreements and the operation of these international regimes. The acidification regime is examined in the proejct; thus the role of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the main international actor in the formulation of such regime, and the EU, a supranational organization with features that differ from UNECE and other international organizations, are focused on. By analysing on the influence of international and supranational organizations, this project complements project 92-0185 on the domestic basis of development of the acidification regime.The project identifies and analyses the impact of the activities of the EU and UNECE on the domestic structures and processes. The analytical framework assumes international organizations are central elements joining international and domestic policy making and implementation. The peculiarity of the EU as a supranational setting is taken into account in the analysis. The framework is applied to the transboundary air pollution regime in Europe, commonly referred to as the "acid rain regime". The empirical data and analysis is intended to elaborate upon and critically check scholarly work on the relation between intergovernmental organizations and the formation and evolution of international regimes. In this connection international organizations are viewed as both participants in the different phases of a regimes's life cycle and as the organizational manifestation of the regime itself. The research is based on documents' analysis and interviews for gathering the data required for the analysis; particularly, a first set of interviews is conducted with members of the professional staffs of the European Commission, the UNECE, and the main international non- governmental organizations; a second set of interviews is held with the relevant decision makers at the national levels in 10 EU plus EFTA countries and in Hungary. Data from these two sources is combined to analyze the interaction between the countries and the international organizations under examination and to provide a better understanding of the formulation and implementation of international environmental agreements.
