Handbook of Globalization and the Environment

Proponents of globalization argue that it protects the global environment from degradation and promotes worldwide sustainable economic growth while opponents argue the exact opposite. Examining the local, national, and international impacts of globalization, this book explores strategies and solutions that support healthy economic growth, protect the environment, and create a more equitable world. It presents global environmental issues and politics, examines environmental management and accountability, and explores global environmental organizations and institutions. It also addresses controversies in globalization and the environment, including eco-terrorism.
