Reference no: EM1394740

Environmentalists argue that trade liberalization harms the environment. The decisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in particular have been the subject of much criticism. Carbaugh has described environmentalists' three primary assertions (Carbaugh, 2004):
Trade liberalization encourages trade in products that create global pollution ("pollution havens").

Proponents of trade liberalization argue that freer trade might actually improve the quality of the environment. For example, the international environmental policy of the U.S. and other industrial nations is based on the "polluter-pays principle." This approach is intended to give producers the incentive to develop more pollution-control techniques (Carbaugh, 2004).

you will recreate and evaluate the counter-arguments for the environmentalists' assertion described above.

For counter-argument, present the following information:
The party you represent
Your party's interests or objectives
Your party's assertion

A summary of the available evidence that supports your party's assertion and/or examples that illustrate the assertion.
