ABSTRACT
In the global economy of the 1990s, attempts to define or implement policies for ‘sustainability’ at the local or national level are not sufficient. Transboundary pollution, global resource depletion, erosion of environmental standards and government capacity by trade agreements-all are signals that any meaningful concept of ‘sustainability’ must address and incorporate the issue of international trade: How much and/or what kind of trade can be considered ‘sustainable’?
