How powerful is business in international environmental protection? Modern industrial sectors are often at the root of global environmental problems such as global warming and ozone layer depletion, but are they also the main source of inertia and obstruction that often hold back international efforts to save the environment? Does the limited success of the Kyoto Protocol process suggest that the fossil fuel industry and others can prevent effective climate action? On the other hand, what are we to make of cases such as the Montreal Protocol, which has helped to reverse the manmade trend towards ozone layer depletion? This book is the result of over ten years of research on international environmental politics. It 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 three of the most important environmental challenges in recent years: the protection of the ozone layer; the politics of global climate change; and the regulation of agricultural biotechnology Environmental policy Social responsibility of business Corporate power International business enterprises Political activity Multinationales Unternehmen (DE-588)4075092-9 gnd Umweltpolitik (DE-588)4078523-3 gnd Soziale Verantwortung (DE-588)4055737-6 gnd Corporate Social Responsibility (DE-588)7697760-2 gnd Globalisierung (DE-588)4557997-0 gnd u QP 305 idslu LR BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 E27-20110114 nebis EN 172 IDS LU 160 IDS LU NEBIS E27 E27 E27W E 400:065 IDSLU LUUHL LUUHL UHFRE QP 305 2009 IDSLU 100 1- Falkner Robert NEBIS 700 1- Falkner Robert IDSLU ILU50 ILU01 LUZHB https://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/HBZ/HT015333982/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 277901782
