ABSTRACT
Various strands of historical scholarship—history of international relations, environmental history, business history, and the history of capitalism—have converged in response to contemporary concerns about private actors’ involvement in environmental regulation. Business is no longer just part of the history of business, just as the environment is no longer solely the domain of environmental historians. This epilogue explores how the intersection of these historical fields can influence the discipline at large and challenges the conventional ways we conceptualize the political and economic as categories that structure historical analysis.
