Description
The paper stems from the notion of the conditioning influence of the world order contest of the great powers affecting the making of world policies towards collective problems. It covers the following themes: 1) the policy preferences of the US, China, and Russia towards international rules and regimes of the energy market and environment protection; 2) environment pollution and protection as issue of confrontation between the US, China, and Russia; 3) the European Union and the three-power coordination or separation in international environment negotiation; 4) the chance of protecting environment by multilateral policy-making.
