Abstract: 
How legitimate are outcomes, outputs and impacts of global environmental
regimes? Can non-state actors contribute to improve the output- and
input-oriented legitimacy of global environmental governance? Helmut
Breitmeier responds to these questions, balancing the volume with both
theoretical and empirical chapters. The theoretical and conceptual
chapters illustrate the relevance and meaning of legitimacy as well as
the impact of non-state actors on environmental governance. They also
describe various methodological issues involved with the coding of 23
environmental regimes. The empirical chapters are based on the findings
of the International Regimes Database (IRD). They explore whether
problem-solving in international regimes is effective and equitable and
the influence of a regime's contribution to how states comply with
international norms. These chapters also analyze whether non-state
actors can improve the output- and input-oriented legitimacy of global
governance systems.
