Abstract

This article outlines findings from a study of two prominent global private environment regulatory programs in Argentina and Brazil from 1992 to 2004. It explores whether some types of programs, supported by different sets of actors, are more likely than others to be effective across different national contexts. Findings suggest that program advocacy on the part of transnational corporations is less consistent than it is often claimed to be and that governments have little influence on these initiatives.
