Bridging the Trade-Environment Divide
分析了贸易自由化与环境保护之间的冲突根源，包括环境库兹涅茨曲线、跨界外部性、贸易措施作为环境执法工具、逐底竞争监管动态等问题，并论证在相互依存的世界中贸易与环境政策必然关联。
Perceived conflict between trade liberalization and environmental protection can be traced to a number of issues. Some tensions relate to the environmental Kuznets curve and whether economic growth yields environmental benefits. Other concerns arise from efforts to address transboundary externalities and disputes over the role of trade measures as an environmental enforcement tool. Another set of issues centers on the risk of a race-toward-the-bottom regulatory dynamic and the limits of legitimate comparative advantage. This paper argues that, in an ecologically and economically interdependent world, trade and environmental policies are inescapably linked as a matter of descriptive reality and normative necessity.
