“…One of the control variables is the export of agricultural products (EXP it ). Some countries, particularly the developed ones, might restrict trade with developing countries to pressure the developing countries’ exporters to improve environmental standards, especially in agriculture, which is why trade openness may improve country's environmental performance (Vogel ; Bradford ; Mavragani et al . ).…”

This research analyses the impact of foreign direct investment on greenhouse gas emissions in the agriculture sector of developing countries. Panel data from 63 developing countries for the period 2005 to 2014 was used to estimate a dynamic econometric model by applying a system‐generalised method of moments. The empirical results indicate a positive impact of foreign direct investment in agriculture on the carbon dioxide equivalent emission intensity in developing countries. The results provide weak support for the pollution havens hypothesis and imply the importance of coordination between foreign direct investment and environmental policies.

“…European external governance is premised on exporting European rules to the countries surrounding it to the east and the south – the European neighbourhood (Börzel and van Hüllen, ; Cardwell, ) – by leveraging both its normative superiority (Manners, ,, ) and the size of its market (Bradford, ; Damro, ). The formal aspects of the external governance consist of agreements or treaties (Lavenex and Schimmelfennig, ; Schimmelfennig, ) as well as technical assistance programmes.…”

Regulators often play a leading role in establishing their informal networks yet regulatory networks are usually considered a second-best instrument of policy integration. They have no decision-making powers and unclear policy impact. Why then do regulators initiate networks? The article shows that regulators form networks to shift the venue of policy discussion from a formal setting, dominated by policy-makers, to an informal one, where they share agenda-setting power with their peers only. Regulators forming networks are network entrepreneurs, for whom the establishment of the network is a policy goal in itself. Bolstered by previous positive networking experiences, network entrepreneurs consider networks the best instrument for influencing policy. The article analyses the empirical case of the network of energy regulators of the Euro-Mediterranean (MedReg, established in 2006) using elite interviews with 20 stakeholders. The findings hold implications for our understanding of informal regulatory collaboration in the EU and beyond.

“…La evidencia empírica muestra que en países europeos y la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE), los estándares se han vuelto más exigentes con el tiempo conforme aumenta la competencia y el intercambio de bienes (Gouldson et al 2014). Bradford (2015), examina el poder de la Unión Europea (UE) vía mercados y prueba cómo los estándares ambientales de esta UE, se convierten en estándares mundiales a través de la influencia de las empresas transnacionales. El autor argumenta que la "competencia hasta el final" no es hacia estándares bajos, sino más bien al contario, hacia estándares más elevados.…”

Palabras clave: desarrollo económico, CO 2 , apertura comercial, democratización RESUMENEste artículo analiza el impacto diferencial de la globalización económica, el tamaño y composición sectorial de la economía y la naturaleza del régimen político de los países sobre su nivel de emisiones de CO2. Nuestros hallazgos muestran que las emisiones se correlacionan positivamente con el grado de inserción de los países en la economía global, con el nivel de desarrollo económico nacional y con el peso relativo de ciertos sectores de la economía. Sin embargo, encontramos que las emisiones asociadas al nivel de globalización crecen más en los países pobres que en los países ricos. Los resultados muestran también que la institucionalización democrática de los países no es garantía de disminución de las emisiones de CO2.Key words: economic development, CO 2 , trade liberalization, democratization ABSTRACT This article analyzes the differential impact of economic globalization, the size and the composition of the economy and the nature of the political regime over national CO2 emission levels. We found that emissions are positively correlated with the national level of economic development, with the relative weight of certain sectors in the economy, as well as with the degree of each country's insertion on the global economy. However, we found that globalization related to the emissions grow faster in the poorer countries than in the richer ones. Our results also show that national democratic institutions do not guarantee lower levels of CO2 emissions.
