Elizabeth R. DeSombre (Beth) works on international environmental politics and law, with a focus on issues of the global commons.
Recent projects have involved the regulation of international fisheries, the impact of flag-of-convenience shipping, protection of the ozone layer, and global environmental institutions generally. She has published six books.
Her current book project (while on sabbatical) has the working title of Why Good People Do Bad Environmental Things (with the implicit subtitle: “and what to do about it”), looking at the sources of environmental behavior. She is also an award winning singer-songwriter with two CDs, about to begin recording a third.
