Vanishing Borders: Protecting the Planet in the Age of Globalization
Hilary F. FrenchW.W. Norton & CompanyApril 2000ISBN 0393320049
Keywords: Globalization, Environmental management strategy
The author argues that the only long-term solution to our environmental problems is a world-wide commitment to strengthening the international treaties and institutions essential for integrating ecological considerations into the still-nascent rules of global commerce. More than 200 international environmental treaties already exist, but few of them stipulate stringent commitments and effective enforcement. Vanishing Borders provides people concerned about the future of the planet with a clear plan of action for ensuring environmental stability in the wake of globalization.
