This book was released on 1995 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper seeks to understand the process of international political integration, balanced with the needs of environmental management, by analysing the European Union as transformed by the Maastricht Treaty in light of the Winnipeg Principles on Trade and Sustainable Development. Background to the analysis includes an overview of the constitutional development of the European Union, the development of the Winnipeg Principles, and the manner in which the environment is taken into account by the Treaty and the European Community. The analysis reveals the degree of convergence between European Union practice and the Winnipeg Principles. Major problems in addressing areas covered by the Principles are identified and steps taken to resolve the problems are noted.
Download or read book International Investment for Sustainable Development written by Lyuba Zarsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Investment for Sustainable Development critically examines the interface between sustainability, development, and the governance of international investment. It challenges the conventional view that foreign direct investment is a 'miracle drug' for developing countries and exposes serious shortcomings in the current international investment regime. Composed of norms, agreements, treaties and regulations, the emerging investment regime expands the rights of transnational corporations (TNCs) without commensurate rewards for the common good. Drawing on both research and engaged advocacy, the contributors ultimately map out a new way forward, towards the creation and implementation of international investment rules that will promote global sustainability and equity.

Download or read book Knowledge Policy and Expertise written by Susan Owens and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a fascinating analysis of expertise and policy formation, based on an in-depth study of the UK Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. The Commission provided expert advice to governments from 1970 to 2011. Often portrayed as a scientific body, it was in fact an interesting hybrid, which embodied wide-ranging expertise. It delivered thirty-three reports, leaving a significant mark on British environmental policy, and having influence within Europe and beyond. Drawing upon an extensive literature and a wide range of sources, Knowledge, Policy, and Expertise provides the only full account of this important advisory body, covering a period in which the policy landscape was profoundly transformed. It offers a rich and detailed analysis of authority, autonomy, and trust; of the diverse roles that advisors can play and the networks within which they operate; and of the circumstances of influence in which expert advice comes to be accepted gratefully, used strategically, absorbed in diffuse ways, or ignored. Above all, this book demonstrates the complexity and contingency of knowledge-policy relations, contributing substantially to a theory of expertise, and drawing out important implications for the future of good advice.
