Opis

This book systematically explores the trade and environment interests of developing countries from a Southern perspective. The contributors write explicitly about both the fears and hopes in the South regarding trade and environment negotiations. Essays are from leading experts and thought leaders from various regions of the South and work to envision new, bold agendas and priorities for their region.

Recenzje

"This is a hugely important book that should be read by all those interested in finding a way out of the polarized debate between North and South on trade and environment issues.It contains exactlythe kind of information that negotiators and policy makersfrom North and Southneed tobridge their differences and find a sustainable accommodation. The authors have donegreat service to Northerners seeking to better understand their Southern counterparts andto Southernersthat want to betteridentify their diverse and common agendas." - Richard G. Tarasofsky, Head, Energy, Environment and Development Programme, Chatham House, The Royal Institute of International Affairs
