Representing transnational environmental interests: new opportunities for non-governmental organisation access within the World Trade Organisation?

Article Abstract:

A survey of non-governmental organization (NGO) participants in the World Trade Organization (WTO) environment briefings in 2004 reveals their position on current and proposed modes of civil society input, the feasibility and legitimacy of which are discussed. Transnational environmental NGOs have grasped the need to appeal to developing country interests in order to widen political support for ecological concerns with the WTO.
