Greening Trade and Investment

"Greening Trade and Investment presents an analysis of the interactions between investment, trade and the environment. It examines the environmental consequences of existing multilateral trade and investment regimes, such as the World Trade Organization and the investment provisions in the North American Free Trade Agreement, and explores whether and how they should be reformed." "The book explains how liberalization of international trade and investment can go hand in hand with an environmental protection which does not erect damaging protectionist barriers that frustrate the development aspirations of poorer countries. It offers constructive solutions to one of the most important and difficult issues in international economic policy."--Jacket.
