Prepared for FLACSO Argentina as part of a research project titled "Possible Global Environmental Institutions: Exploring the Developing Country Interests."
There is an increasing debate among international policy makers, scholars and environmental NGOs about the present state of international environmental governance and the need to strengthen international environmental institutions. One of the proposals which is attracting growing attention is the possibility of creating a world environmental organization (WEO).
While varied arguments have been put forward for and against the creation of this new entity, the overall debate is concerned with how to improve international environmental governance. This paper intends to enrich that debate by introducing development and public participation variables in the discussion.
