Published in 1997, this book is about the link between trade and
the environment which has become a very important national issue
for all countries, in particular, those countries which have been
undergoing lengthy periods of trade and investment liberalization
programmes recently. This has also become an international issue of
tremendous current interest given its implications on the global
environment and trading system. International organizations such as
WTO, OECD, the UN and regional trading arrangements such as NAFTA,
EEC and APEC have been actively involved in the policy debate.
Despite the critical importance of trade-environment issues, less
is known about the linkages between the two. This book presents a
New Zealand perspective as a case-study of global interest for two
reasons: firstly, many countries, both developed and developing,
are taking the New Zealand economic reforms as a model for
restructuring their economies. Secondly, New Zealand is going to
become a member of APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation),
together with 17 other countries in the area by 2010 (developed
countries) and 2020 (developing countries). The book is expected to
contribute significantly to the current debate and to assist in the
process of reconciliation of trade and environmental policies for
sustainable development within the context of APEC integration.
