This case study is designed to introduce students to aspects of the global environmental dilemma; basic attributes of the international economy that affect developing country debt, and the relationship between debt and environmental degradation in developing countries. It will familiarize students with an innovative and increasingly popular approach, debt-for-nature swaps, which promises to alleviate, if not eliminate, the debt burden and environmental pollution. This case uses the negotiation of such swaps to illustrate several fundamental concepts that apply to international negotiations, in general, and other international environmental negotiations, in particular.

In 1985 the governments of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland signed the Anglo-Irish Agreement, which sets forth their respective roles and responsibilities in Northern Ireland and spells out the specific political, cultural, economic, and civil rights of all residents of Northern Ireland. This pact is distinctive both because of its open-ended view of political solutions to the conflict, and because it was negotiated without the direct participation of the local parties in Northern Ireland. This case study describes the events leading up to the signing, then discusses the elements that have most strongly influenced relationships among all the parties to the conflict. This case can be paired with Case Study 338, “Women's Participation in the Good Friday Agreement Negotiations: A Case Study on Northern Ireland.”

This case study describes the Lithuanian-Russian negotiations over Russian transit rights through newly independent Lithuania to the isolated, yet militarily important enclave of Kaliningrad. The case analyzes foreign policy decision-making in a small, relatively poor state (Lithuania) with strong historical and contemporary ties to a large, dominant state (Russia)— portrays the difficulties of working out the nuts and bolts of foreign policy agreements in any country. This case can be paired with “The Long Good-Bye: The Withdrawal of Russian Military Forces from the Baltic States” (Case Study 230) and “After the Empire: Estonia and Russia Negotiate Borders and Citizenship” (Case Study 251).

This three-part case study describes the complex negotiations over Russian troop withdrawals largely from the Baltic perspective, drawing on the recollections of Estonia’s foreign minister. Part A describes the early agreement between Russia and Lithuania and recounts how Russian relations with Latvia and Estonia deteriorated through 1992-1993, culminating in a breakdown in negotiations in early 1994. Part B details the involvement of the United States and other Western powers in the discussions leading to the Russia-Latvia agreement, and describes Estonia’s unsuccessful effort to get a similar deal. Part C briefly describes the climactic Russian Estonian meeting that resolved the issue once and for all. This case study illustrates the dilemma faced by a small, newly independent state as it seeks negotiating advantage against a large and powerful neighbor; demonstrates the unpredictability of diplomacy conducted at the highest levels; describes the advantages and drawbacks of the involvement of outside powers, especially the role of a superpower (the United States) in post-Cold War mediation efforts; and spotlights how states manage contradictory interests. It can be paired with “From Russia to Kaliningrad: The Case of Russian Transit Rights Through Lithuania” (Case Study 230) and “After the Empire: Estonia and Russia Negotiate Borders and Citizenship” (Case Study 251).withdrawals largely from the Baltic perspective, drawing on the recollections of Estonia’s foreign minister.

This case study examines a significant shift in official U.S. policy toward the Palestinians, a change that set the stage for the Madrid Conference, the Oslo Agreement, and subsequent Israeli-Palestinian negotiations in the 1990s and beyond. It describes the role of second-track and third-party diplomacy in facilitating a ‘breakthrough’ in a protracted and deadlocked conflict, and highlights the role of several key individuals involved in these specific events. Because it focuses on the infrequently examined Palestinian side of the equation, the study can be used to examine the difficulties facing a small non-state actor, like the Palestinian Liberation Organization, when dealing with a major regional or global power. This case could be used in classes dealing with U.S. foreign policy, international mediation, the Arab-Israeli conflict, or Middle East politics more generally. Part A provides an historical review, and describes two separate but mutually reinforcing efforts undertaken by nontraditional actors pursuing the goal of gaining U.S. recognition of the PLO, including a small group of prominent Jewish-Americans, high-ranking PLO members, and the Swedish Foreign Office. It ends with PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat's speech to a special session of the United Nations held in Geneva, Switzerland, on December 13, 1988. Part B recounts the U.S. assessment that, despite this speech, Arafat had not yet fulfilled the prerequisites for a dialogue with the United Nations. Part C describes Arafat's final, successful attempt to “say the magic words.”

Examines intergovernmental efforts within the United States to manage the nation’s water supply. Long taken for granted, water resources are rapidly becoming a contentious issue within American politics. Continuing population growth and rapid development, coupled with environmental events such as droughts, have led to increasing water shortages in sections of the nation. In Interstate Water Compacts author Joseph F. Zimmerman highlights the growing importance of water issues within the United States and a device that has been instrumental in facilitating interstate cooperation to solve water-related problems: the interstate compact. This groundbreaking work is the first to devote itself exclusively to interstate and federal-interstate compacts pertaining to controversies including the abatement of water pollution, apportionment of river waters, economic development, flood control, inland fisheries, marine fisheries, and restoration to rivers of anadromous fish, such as salmon and shad. The process for entering into interstate and federal-interstate compacts is explained in detail, as is the exercise of original jurisdiction by the US Supreme Court to resolve intractable interstate controversies involving interpretation of provisions of compacts, water apportionment, and water pollution abatement. Zimmerman concludes by calling for the President, Congress, governors, state legislatures, and local governments to devote more attention and resources to finding solutions for water-related problems. “…a well-researched, detailed reference of interstate compacts with an emphasis on water-related compacts. The text’s strength is in its detailed description of the legal justification of interstate compacts and their role in horizontal federalism and intergovernmental relations … worth a read for any student of federalism looking to gain knowledge in this subfield of federalism.” — Publius “Zimmerman provides a thorough description of the use of interstate compacts and other intergovernmental efforts to manage water resources … Readers who want well-documented source material on the role of interstate compacts, with particular attention to water-related agreements, will find this book valuable.” — CHOICE Joseph F. Zimmerman is Professor of Political Science at the University at Albany, State University of New York. His many books include Horizontal Federalism: Interstate Relations; Interstate Cooperation, Second Edition: Compacts and Administrative Agreements; and State-Local Governmental Interactions, all published by SUNY Press.
