    abstract = {Montreal  Protocol  is  one  of  the  successful  Multilateral  Environmental Agreements (MEAs). Montreal  Protocol  managed  to  seek  international environmental cooperation among almost all of the states in  the  world.  All  of  these  states  have  already  agreed  to  ratify  the  Montreal  Protocol.  The  Montreal Protocol  has  been  enacted  for  the  protection  of  the  ozone  layer by taking precautionary measures to control world emissions of substances that deplete the ozone layer. Some of the international environmental governance scholars  suggested  that  power  approach  might  influence  in  the  negotiations  of  creating MEAs. Moreover, the existence of the superiority power in economy, military, technology and science would lead for hegemony. This hegemony most likely would build up more cooperation among states and subsequently  influence  in  the  negotiations  of  creating  MEAs,  which  include  the  Montreal  Protocol. Therefore,  the  primary  purpose  of  this  study  is  to  explain the influence of power approach in the international environmental governance on regards of the Montreal Protocol’s early negotiations and the relations  of  the  interstates  participation  response.  Meanwhile,  this  study  uses  a  qualitative  approach, which is based on the meetings’ proceeding reports of the Montreal Protocol. Finally, the results potentially provide with better understanding of the influence of power approach in the international environmental governance.}
