| Description: |
With globalization, international trade is fast becoming a fact of life. Chief among concerns over this are questions of the impact on the world's ecosystems and the development choices faced by countries bound by new rules of economic liberalization. This text synthesizes lessons learned so far. |
| Synopsis: |
Globalization and increasing international trade are becoming a fact of life, bringing increasing tensions and conflicts over their impacts on societies, livelihoods and the environment. The impacts are felt in industrialized countries but are often most harsh in developing economies. The growing debate involves not only professional economists and lawyers, but a broad range of academic disciplines as well as civil society and citizens' groups around the world. This text presents the most important contributions to the debate, and to the understanding of how sustainable international trade could be achieved. It should provide a useful sourcebook and guide to academics, practitioners and activists involved with these issues. |
