BY YEAR'S END, world leaders are to negotiate the successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol climate agreement in Copenhagen - our last chance, many experts say, to reverse the disastrous course of global climate policy. With about a dozen Senate Republicans likely to support cap-and-trade legislation, the cop's chances of blocking it may rest on the few surviving moderate Republicans in the House; look for the minority leader to blast cap and trade as too costly for an economy in crisis. A former staffer to Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), he now lobbies on behalf of the International Emissions Trading Association to promote carbon offsets, arguing that allowing US industries to retrofit a power plant in China is more efficient than forcing companies to cut emissions.

It is often claimed that the involvement of global networks in international lawmaking improves the democratic quality of political arrangements because it gives people more control over the ways their lives will be governed-something that nondemocratic governments refuse to provide and democratic governments are increasingly unable to provide.4 In attempting to explain the motivation for global network activity, international relations scholars have looked at the domestic opportunity structure and its impact on transnational activism, or, in other words, the local institutional conditions under which network members operate and the network's points of access to the domestic political system.
