Excerpt
Excerpt: The 1990s have emerged as the decade of economic globalization. More than ever, countries are part of a global economy that demands the elimination of trade barriers and the smooth flow of goods and services from one place to another. But even as countries seek the benefits of open trade, they find themselves having to resist imports they find undesirable. In some cases, the overriding concern of the importing country is that a product or class of products could threaten the health of its environment or people. The result can be a trade quarrel that pits one countrys desire for market access against another countrys insistence on sovereignty over its own domestic environmental policies.
