Publications

This Article will focus on NAFTA and NAFTA's supplemental environmental side agreement - the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (Supplemental Agreement) -in light of recent events. In doing so, it will suggest that recent events in Chiapas demand a re-evaluation of NAFTA's environmental protections.

The GATT Secretariat has recommended that countries like the United States rely on "carrots" rather than "sticks" in order to induce the participation of other countries in multilateral environmental agreements. Professor Chang defends the use of sticks on the ground that they encourage more restrained exploitation of the environment pending a multilateral agreement. First, …
