Questions:
- Economic and environmental issues are intertwined. Discuss why these issues are so closely connected, and how this creates problems for politicians trying to negotiate international agreements to address environmental issuesboth in the developed and developing world.
- Economic liberals argue that globalization of the economy with free trade and open markets are always in states best interests, but mercantilists and radicals would argue that economic globalization leads to a race-to-the-bottom in terms of domestic economies and social institutions? Do you think economic globalization has been beneficial for states? Why or why not? In addressing this question, be sure to discuss the arguments for and the criticisms of economic globalization that underlay these perspectives and give your viewpoint on them. Use examples from course content in justifying your answer.
