In the U.S interest explores the implications this growing interdependence holds for US foreign policy in the developing world. It links US jobs, trade, and geopolitical interests to the environmental, economic, and political health of key developing nations. Case studies of Mexico, Egypt, Kenya, and the Philippines analyze Third World resource, environmental, and population problems, revealing the need for US policymakers to recognize US national interest in international environmental cooperation.

Global Environmental Politics

The fires in the Kuwaiti oilfields and the oilslicks in the Gulf have demonstrated how environmental issues have moved across traditional national and ideological boundaries to the centre of the world political agenda. This book presents an overview of the history and politics of nine major environmental issues, including global warming, endangered species, and the international toxic waste trade. The book also assesses the roles and interests of the government and independent agencies calling for global co-operation.

Global Environmental Politics: Second Edition

When Global Environmental Politics was first published, the environment was just emerging as a pivotal issue in traditional international relations. Now the environment is a topic central to discussions of security politics and the relationship between foreign and domestic policy—and so much has changed that Gareth Porter and Janet Welsh Brown found themselves rewriting more than half of their original text. With new cases on biodiversity and desertification, this classic work is more complete and up-to-date than any survey of environmental politics on the market.In addition to providing a concise yet comprehensive overview of global environmental issues, the authors have worked to contextualize key topics such as the Rio conference, water security, the biodiversity treaty, and trade in toxics. Environmental concerns from global warming to the ozone layer to whaling are seen as challenges to transnational relations, with governments, NGOs, IGOs, and MNCs all facing the prospect of multilateral interaction to solve a growing global problem.

When Global Environmental Politics was first published, the environment was just emerging as a pivotal issue in traditional international relations. Today, the environment is considered to be a central topic to discussions of international politics, political economy, international organization, and the relationship between foreign and domestic policy. With new and updated case studies throughout, a revised chapter on improving compliance with international environmental regimes, and a new section on environment within the larger context of sustainable development, this classic text is more complete and up-to-date than any survey of international environmental politics on the market. In addition to providing a concise yet comprehensive overview of global environmental issues, the authors have worked to contextualize key topics such as the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, the Kyoto Protocol, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, international forest policy, and the trade, development and environment nexus. Environmental concerns from global warming to biodiversity loss to whaling are seen as challenges to transnational relations, with governments, NGOs, IGOs, and MNCs all involved in the multilateral interaction that is necessary to address the ever-complicated subject of global environmental politics.
