- catalog abstract "Annotation A great deal of research has focused on the role of governments, nongovernmentalorganizations, and advocacy groups in promoting environmental ideologies. Researchers and activistshave generally assumed antienvironmental and antiregulatory stances on the part of corporations.Exporting Environmentalism is the first book to examine industry's transnational promotion ofenvironmental ideas and practices. The book also challenges and complements other theoreticalapproaches to the study of international environmental politics. Rather than positing change innational and international environmental policy as the only valuable outcome, it looks at theenvironmental benefits of changes in perspectives, policies, and practices within the firmsthemselves.Ronie Garcia-Johnson shows that multinational corporations have incentives to raise theenvironmental, health, and safety standards of domestic companies in their host countries tomaintain their competitive advantage. To determine industry's exportation and importation ofenvironmentalism, Garcia-Johnson focuses on the flow of ideas, values, and strategies from UnitedStates-based chemical companies to companies in Mexico and Brazil. The comparative case studyexplains how and why Mexican and Brazilian companies are importing environmental ideas and changingtheir production policies. Garcia-Johnson then explores the effects of these private policies oncommunities, nongovernmental organizations, governments, and national environmental politics withinBrazil and Mexico.".
