Business Power And Conflict In International Environmental Politics

This book puts forward a distinctive theoretical approach and analytical framework for studying business as an international actor in the environmental field, and provides detailed case studies of the most important environmental challenges in recent years. Review: 'Robert Falkner's excellent book addresses a vitally important topic on which the literature is relatively under-developed.

His approach is radically different and directly engages existing explanations of the role of business in global environmental politics. This will certainly mean its appearance on reading lists!' - John Vogler, Professor of International relations, Keele University, UK 'Falkner's contribution is to demonstrate how accounts of the considerable power and influence of business can remian strongly sensitive to the varied nature of business interests and the particularity of the political circumstances with which they are inevitably enmeshed.' - Dan Greenwood, International Affairs
