Abstract

This book is an innovative and in-depth consideration of the challenges economic globalization poses for the effective application of multilateral environmental accords. The introductory part of the book examines the particular challenges of economic globalization, Part II tackles the interrelationship of global and regional environmental agreements and free trade regimes. It first looks at trade and other economic measures mandated by various environmental agreements, then at environmental measures in economic agreements. The third part of the book turns to compliance, analyzing the potential positive and negative impact of multilateral institutions, states, and transnational corporate activity. Tie last chapter considers the impact on compliance of modern dispute avoidance and dispute settlement mechanisms.
