This is the first book-length empirical study of the formation of the global ocean dumping regime in 1972 and its development, which culminated in the 1993 global ban on the dumping of low-level radioactive waste at sea. Ringius describes the structure within which global ocean dumping policy, particularly with regard to the disposal of radioactive waste, is embedded. He examines the political construction of ocean dumping as a global environmental problem, the role of persuasion, and the formation of international public opinion. He does not argue that the influence of ideas alone explains how regimes develop, but claims that it is necessary to understand how actors, interest, and ideas together influence regimes and international environmental policy.
