Features: This book employs a new analytical framework to examine the factors determining environmental-competitiveness from both cost and differentiation perspectives, and constructs a new theoretical framework for environmental-competitiveness analysis. The author applies this new framework to analyze the effects of environmental regulations in the North and South, pointing out that developed countries transfer environmental costs to developing countries. Trade liberalization and environmental protection can mutually promote and develop together; first implement regional trade and environmental coordination, then achieve international coordination. The book also proposes countermeasures for China's actual situation, offering suggestions that can protect the domestic environment while enhancing the international competitiveness of industries.
