Description
Since then-secretary of state Warren Christopher's announcement in 1996 of an increased emphasis on environmental issues in U.S. foreign affairs, the "green" hand of foreign policy has become a threat to national sovereignty without the offsetting benefit of improved environmental quality. This collection of essays takes a hard look at how environmental concerns have come to help determine U.S. foreign policy--and the dangers that this poses to both our sovereignty and the environment.
