In the environment–international trade debate, the countries of the developing world are major players. Until now, however, no book has covered the issues in this important debate from a developing-country perspective.

In this book, a team of distinguished researchers from the developing world assess the trade and environment debate. They examine past and current international negotiations on the environment and analyze how these negotiations are affecting developing-country trade. The book takes two sectors of crucial interest to developing countries — forestry and agriculture — and dissects the trade and environment linkages. It then reviews the contribution made by NAFTA to environmental management in Mexico and the value added by Mercosur and ASEAN — two developing-country integration schemes — to the protection of the environment in member countries. Also, a chapter on South Africa surveys exporters' concerns with environmentally motivated measures in international markets, and a chapter on the contribution of voluntary market initiatives looks at ecolabelling and international standards.

The Environment and International Trade Negotiations will appeal to policymakers in economics, international trade, and the environment; educators and students in economics, international trade, international development, and environmental studies; and donors, NGOs, and development organizations active in the above issues.
