Abstract: Abstract The previous two chapters have presented the basic analytical foundations of the environment-trade relationship and some of the recent political economic developments in this area. Some of the controversy has turned on propositions regarding the relationship between trade liberalization and environmental quality. Connections have also often been drawn between trade policy, economic growth and environmental resources. After examining the logic of these propositions, we conclude that there are no unambiguous relationships between these variables.
