Globalization, Political Institutions and the Environment in Developing Countries - Gabriele Spilker - Bog

Why are some developing countries more willing or able to take care of their environment than others? In this volume, Gabriele Spilker proposes two factors for the differences in developing countries¿ environmental performance: integration into the international system and domestic political institutions. Adding a new dimension to the existing body of research on environmental quality and commitment, Spilker convincingly demonstrates how international and domestic political factors interact to shape developing countries¿ ability and willingness to care for their natural environment.
