Description
Summary:Findings are reported from a review of the literature regarding world trade and foreign direct investment. The results from this analysis underscored the growing relationship between international business and protection of the natural environment, with both positive and negative impacts. Certain studies have argued that accelerated deregulation and trade liberalization play an especially important role in these relationships. The competitiveness of goods and products in the international marketplace is becoming increasingly dependent on environmental norms and standards. The project sought to evaluate the general impacts on international business on the environment in transition economies. The motives of foreign investors with respect to environmental goals are examined.
