As negotiations proceed for the post-Kyoto climate change regime,
major obstacles stand in the path to their successful completion.
The Corporate Greenhouse addresses the political economy of the
climate change debate, questioning the disconnect between the
current negotiation framework, based around the nation-state, and
the neoliberal policies driving the world economy, organized around
transnational corporations. Given the rapidly growing economic
power and expanding carbon footprint of China, India and other
developing economies, the debate on 'who is to blame, and who is to
pay' can no longer be ignored. Carefully researched and sourced
from original work and case studies, The Corporate Greenhouse
explores the geopolitical division between North and South;
questions the sustainability of capitalism in the current global
economic environment; examines the impact of TNCs on worldwide CO2
emissions; and discusses the expected outcome of the EU Emissions
Trading Scheme on corporate investment strategies. This timely book
argues that treaties that fail to account properly for the
activities of TNCs will preclude effective, equitable solutions to
the urgent issue of global climate change.
