Abstract
Most of this book has focused on U.S. environmental policy, but increasingly the environmental movement has taken environmental issues global.1 Domestic policy regarding carbon emissions, foreign policy regarding military operations, international trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT), United Nations conferences and policies, and international law have all taken on an environmental flavor. The protests surrounding the World Trade Organization meetings in Seattle in December 1999 and the meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in April 2000 illustrate the intensity of feelings about the interface between international relations and environmental quality.
