Abstract
When environmental degradation in a particular country has international consequences, a dilemma arises: how to find effective policies which address the causes and take domestic sensitivities into account? This article analyzes the Brazilian Amazon, where international concern over deforestation led to accusations of hypocrisy, infringement of sovereignty and impeding development. By cautiously building coalitions and by offering favorable conditions, donors contributed to changing conflict into cooperation. The Pilot Program for the Brazilian rainforest has not ended all controversies because international influence is legitimized. The case of the Brazilian Amazon has wider relevance: it sheds light on the limits and possibilities of international environmental cooperation, and shows how an international coalition against deforestation emerged.
