Environmental Policy, International Agreements and International Trade

Ulph, Alistair (2001) Environmental Policy, International Agreements and International Trade , Oxford, UK. Oxford University Press, 346pp.

Abstract

This timely collection explores the highly topical area of international trade agreements and environmental policy. It focuses in particular on two key aspects of the international dimension of environmental policy: with trans-frontier environmental problems, such as climate change and acid rain, it is necessary for countries to enter into international environmental agreements to overcome incentives for free-riding; and even if pollution were simply a domestic concern, countries are linked via trade, thus environmental policies will impact upon the international competitiveness of certain sectors of an economy.
