More About This Book

Overview

The connection between trade and the environment gives rise to a set of issues that is relatively new and still controversial. The concern of environmentalists is that liberalized trade will lead to an increase in products that are harmful to the environment. Those who promote freer trade, on the other hand, are concerned that environmental issues will provide a pretext for protectionism and form trade barriers. This is significant as trade is seen by Asia as an engine of growth, but Asia is facing considerable environmental stress in development. Ultimately, as recognized by the 1992 Earth Summit, the issues of trade and the environment are part of the challenges in seeking sustainable development. This book brings together essays on trade and the environment in the Asian context by leading academics and policy-makers from different disciplines and sectors. Just as importantly, the three major trading regions of the world are equally represented: Asia, Europe and North America. Those with an interest in the environment, economics or international law will find this book both useful and topical.
