Description: This article situates the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate in the context of developments in U.S. international climate change policy during the current Bush Administration and late Clinton Administration. The article identifies a voluntarist and pluralist theme in U.S. international environmental policy that intensified in regard to climate change following the Bush Administration's withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol. The Asia-Pacific Partnership is the most wide-ranging expression of this voluntarist and pluralist approach of the United States towards international climate change policy. The article also argues that the Asia-Pacific Partnership adopts an instrumental approach to international climate change policy that is in distinct contrast to key principles of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
