A very in-depth analysis of the Copenhagen Accord by renowned Harvard economist Robert Stavins:

"It is unquestionably the case that the Accord represents the best agreement that could be achieved in Copenhagen, given the political forces at play."
Lots of goodies in the above article, plenty of links to previous/supplementary work done by the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements.
A joint New York Times op-ed by Michael Levi, Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and Frank Loy, former lead climate negotiator for the U.S.: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/24/opinion/24iht-edloy.html?_r=3&ref=global
What's interesting is that there seem to be plenty of people arguing in the aftermath of Copenhagen that the UNFCCC is a framework ill-suited to tackling climate change, perhaps completely unworkable given that all 193 nations effectively have veto power over any agreement.
