Green and blue trade policy in the context of sustainable development

Abstract

Some economists tend to argue that calls to link environmental and labour market issues to trade liberalization are a backdoor method to retaining protectionism. Such a perspective overlooks economic principles pertaining to externalities as well as human capabilities for altruism. Argues that if sustainable development is to be treated seriously the links need to be made.
