Book excerpt: Several recent discussions of global environmental change have suggested that concern about the social causes and consequences of environmental degradation beyond one`s own country or locality is in the national and individual self interest. Reinforcing the abiulity of other countries to cope with environmental problems is seen not only as a way to develop strategic allies, but also as a means to insecure the stability of import and export trade.Self-interest is at stake in protecting global commons such as the atmosphere and oceans and in prteventing the destruction of biodiversity and other ecologically and economically important resources.
