"The Impact of Environmental Standards in Developing Countries" is a scholarly book that addresses the challenges and opportunities arising from environmental standards for developing countries. The author, Simon Schnetzer, examines the dependence of these countries' economies on the markets of developed nations, particularly concerning agricultural exports. The book highlights the growing global environmental awareness and the associated Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) that influence the requirements for environmentally related product standards and the significance of ecolabeling in the international trade landscape. The first part analyzes the relevance of environmentally related product standards and their impact on consumer behavior. The second part focuses on the role of foreign direct investment and the empirical basis of the Pollution Haven Theory, leading to a comprehensive discussion on the effects of environmental standards on economic development in these countries.
