policy agenda as well.In this timely volume, an international group of economists, trade negotiators, and environmentalists brings diverse perspectives to bear on the nexus of trade and the environment. Providing a conceptual framework to help readers contextualize the debates, the contributors explore emerging political and economic connections between trade, international institutions, and the environment. They develop conceptual linkages among renewable resources, trade, and international goods, with consideration to both developed and developing economies. They then offer varying ways of measuring critical linkages, and, finally, they identify areas in need of further research.
