Abstract

The environment has been an important issue for a long time. All the countries have different policies to treat these problems. In general, all international policies operate under certain mechanism, especially bilateral and multilateral mechanisms. Then what are the pros and cons of these two mechanisms for countries in international relations? The article will try to answer this question by providing an in-depth comparative analysis of China’s bilateral and multilateral mechanisms related to environmental policies. Both bilateral mechanisms and multilateral mechanisms have advantages and disadvantages. Through the case of China this analysis shows that it would be beneficial for countries to use a combination of both, leveraging the advantages of both mechanisms simultaneously.
