      abstract = {International environmental cooperation efforts throw  environmental professionals together to work, without  considering the very different life experiences, legal  traditions and cultural framework that each bring to the  work. As the work they do together is inherently sensitive  - often, the purpose is to write new laws or develop new  policies for national application -- this failure  explicitly to consider the perspectives of the  professionals is puzzling. Two environmental lawyers-one  American, one Hungarian-who worked together over the course  of 18 months in an effort designed to breathe life into  provisions of the Aarhus Convention by improving public  access to environmental information held by government  bodies, examine the nature and content of their  communication, and how that affected their end product.  This case study discloses that the authors had very  different ideas about what needed to be accomplished in the  project, indeed of the very purpose of tools for increasing  environmental public participation. It suggests ways in  which communication can be facilitated in future such  efforts.},
