Abstract
The call for ‘meaningful participation’ of ‘key’ developing countries in the Kyoto Protocol has been one of the most important issues in the climate negotiation in 1998 leading towards the CoP4 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November. The issue was brought to attention in international politics by the United States, though ‘meaningful participation’ is not well defined and ‘key’ developing countries cannot easily be pinpointed. Unfortunately, since the US negotiators failed to have developing country participation explicitly included in the Protocol, the US government decided to postpone the submission for ratification of the Protocol before the Senate at least until after the upcoming CoP4.
