Book Description
Describes patterns of private investment in Latin America and analyzes their impact on the environment, concluding that improved environmental performance can accompany foreign direct investment. Shows how governments of developing countries can attract foreign investors by integrating environmental considerations into their investment promotion efforts, and identifies points of leverage for actions by governments, investors, environmental groups, and customers to increase environmental benefits. Material grows out of a study launched at the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy in 1995. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
