Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The fires in the Kuwaiti oilfields and the oilslicks in the Gulf have demonstrated how environmental issues have moved across traditional national and ideological boundaries to the centre of the world political agenda. This book presents an overview of the history and politics of nine major environmental issues, including global warming, endangered species, and the international toxic waste trade. The book also assesses the roles and interests of the government and independent agencies calling for global co-operation.
