Description: "This book is the first assessment of the trade and environment debate as viewed by a team of researchers in developing countries. It covers international negotiations on the environment and analyses how these affect developing country concerns. It 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 the North American Trade Agreement to environmental management in Mexico and the value added by Mercado Comun del Sur (MERCOSUR) and the Association for South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), two developing country integration schemes, to the protection of the environment in member countries."--BOOK JACKET.
