In this comprehensive reference work, Kevin Gallagher has compiled
a fresh and broad-ranging collection of expert voices commenting on
the interdisciplinary field of trade and the environment. For over
two decades policymakers and scholars have been struggling to
understand the relationship between international trade in a
globalizing world and its effects on the natural environment. The
authors in this Handbook provide the tools to do just that. The
editor's well-worked introduction synthesizes the emerging themes
of the collection, which is divided into three sections: trade and
environmental quality, trade and environmental politics, and trade
and environmental policy. Topics include the extent to which trade
liberalization creates 'pollution havens' where dirty industries
flock to poorer countries with lax environmental standards, and
conversely, how multinational corporations bring 'cleaner'
environmental technologies to developing countries when they choose
to move abroad. The volume also addresses the extent to which
national environmental policy and/or global environmental
agreements clash with the emerging rules of the World Trade
Organization and whether such environmental policies hinder export
competitiveness. Finally, numerous political economy analyses of
the complex political coalitions that arise to adapt to and
mitigate changes in trade and environmental policy are provided. In
addition to broader overviews of the field, in-depth case studies
of nations and regions are offered, including the United States,
the European Union, China, India and Mexico as well East Asia,
Latin America, and Africa. The volume will serve as a guide for
scholars new to the field as well as students and policy-makers
needing a quick reference to the research on the interface between
trade and the environment.
