Globalization and the Environment, economics homework help

Base on the PDF

My first question is below:

Kiggundu suggested in his chapter that the relationship between globalization and the environment is not “all doom and gloom” but is “not rosy either”. The interests of environmental activists, capitalists/corporatists, government players and, indeed, individuals who want little more than a more stable existence are diverse and–seemingly consistent while also at odds. From your reading of Kiggundu’s chapter, I would like for you to discuss what you see as a more genuine/objective appraisal of the world’s environmental state (use external sources to support your arguments). Then, discuss what you perceive to be the most effective forum/platform/organization around which a dialogue involving interested parties might develop (here too, I would like to see your use of external sources to support your arguments [please link us to these sources where possible]).

My second question is below:

Clapp and Helleiner (2012) describe the direction that future research might take in examining the relationship between a growing international political economy and the environment. In their article they discuss three possible directions for future research. Identify the direction you think most beneficial in having an immediate positive impact on preserving/protecting the physical environment and explain your choice. Identify the direction you think most beneficial in having a long-term positive impact on preserving/protecting the physical environment and explain your choice. Finally, can you offer an alternative direction? Discuss and explain your alternative.
