'Trade and environment is a topic on which people hold strong opinions, often based on fundamental misunderstandings. The editors of this volume - both distinguished experts on the subject - have collected an impressive group of papers that provide a framework for improved dialogue. These cover the basic principles, empirical tests of key hypotheses, and evaluations of the most important institutions, drawing from the disciplines of both economics and international law. A welcome resource.'
