Description

"In the U.S interest" explores the implications this growing interdependence holds for US foreign policy in the developing world. It links US jobs, trade, and geopolitical interests to the environmental, economic, and political health of key developing nations. Case studies of Mexico, Egypt, Kenya, and the Philippines analyze Third World resource, environmental, and population problems, revealing the need for US policymakers to recognize US national interest in international environmental cooperation.
