Rafael Leal-Arcas expertly examines the interface of climate change
mitigation and international trade law with a view to addressing
the question: How can we make best use of the international trading
system experience to aim at a global climate change agreement?The
insightful book contributes to developing the architecture for a
post 2012 global climate agreement and, in doing so, seeks and
proposes new approaches to climate change mitigation by linking it
to the international trade system. The author suggests the adoption
of a bottom-up approach to climate change negotiations by using the
evolution of multilateral trade agreements as a model for reaching
a global climate treaty. He discusses the innovative approach of
inserting climate goals within regional trade agreements, given
their proliferation - especially bilateral - in the international
trading system. He explains the trade implications of climate
change mitigation policies by analyzing a couple of areas where the
international regimes for trade and climate change mitigation may
potentially clash. Climate Change and International Trade will
strongly appeal to undergraduate and graduate students of
international and European trade law, international and European
environmental law as well as social science academics. NGOs, think
tanks, practitioners, researchers, and international organizations
will also find plenty of valuable information in this timely
resource. Contents: 1. Prologue Part I: Setting the Scene 2. The
