Abstract: Regional economic and environmental conditions have always shaped the course of globalization efforts. Increasingly however, regional policy considerations — for better or for worse — have moved center stage. Of course, policy has always been closely linked to the changes in economic and environmental conditions that are observed by local businesses and households. In their populist forms, they pit business against environmental interests, rich against poor, winners against losers. Rather than simply identify fundamental causes of these conflicts, this presentation lays out directions for economic and environmental policy that promote economic, environmental and social sustainability in a world constrained by local interests and resources.
