Abstract

Global Governance 19 (2013), 105–118 Institutional Interactions at the Crossroads of Trade and Environment: The Dominance of Liberal Environmentalism? Fariborz Zelli, Aarti Gupta, and Harro van Asselt This article argues that institutional interactions that cut across the domains of trade and environment are embedded in overarching norms that shape their evolution and impact. In making this argument, it analyzes three cases of such interactions within the climate change and biosafety regime com- plexes: those relating to trade-related climate policies and measures, forest carbon sinks, and trade in genetically modified organisms. The analysis high- lights the dominance of liberal environmentalism (a set of global norms pro- moting economic efficiency and environmental improvements through market-based mechanisms) in shaping institutional interactions within these regime complexes, even as liberal environmentalism is contested by key ac- tors. This, in turn, has implications for effective management of institutional interlinkages within regime complexes in global environmental governance.
