The Need for a Planetary Bargain

Michael Hopkins

Chapter 2 in The Planetary Bargain, 1999, pp 21-37 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, I outline the elements of what, potentially, could be in a planetary bargain. The two main actors in such a bargain are governments and business. There are, of course, many actors on the world stage, and governments are not always the best to represent them, even in democratic societies. Yet, if a voluntary bargain is to come about then the lead will have to come jointly from governments (including international organisations) and business itself. Therefore, the first two sections in this chapter set the parameters of what each could expect from each other. I then discuss the link between a planetary bargain and globalisation before entering into some detail of what a planetary bargain could consist of. Whether a planetary bargain should be voluntary or enter into the legal framework of nations is an issue I cover before ending the chapter with a link to theory, when I ask ‘Is a planetary bargain simply another version of global Keynesianism’?
