Abstract: Abstract This chapter is concerned with situations in which each country’s wellbeing depends on the environmental policies of other countries, as well as its own, and where environmental policy is determined with explicit regard to this interdependence. Two particular problems are examined. The first is the provision of an international public good — the protection of a shared environmental resource. The second is the determination of environmental policy regarding a purely domestic environmental resource, when that policy is seen to affect the domestic industry’s competitiveness, and hence that of its foreign rivals, in international markets. Section 2 considers the first problem, and Section 3 the second. Section 4 summarizes the conclusions.
