| Descripción: | Pollution and other threats to nature originate in particular countries, but global coordination and cooperation are often needed when seeking solutions because of the transnational implications of environmental problems. The Singaporean case shows that regional and international cooperation can be forthcoming even if nationalism is a driving force behind a desire to mitigate harm to the environment. A significant reason is that failure to address industries' environmental impact can impose enormous costs on a domestic economy. Hence, although nation-states are seen as usually putting their individual economic interests above those of the global environment, Singapore demonstrates that policies can be devised in ways that reconcile national economic self-interest with global environmental protection. |
