Compare and contrast environmental negotiations and trade talks. On which principle of international relations does each rely?

What is the difference between trade talks solving a collective-goods problem and solving environmental collective-goods problems?
What will be an ideal response?


Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Define environmental negotiations and trade talks.
2. Compare and contrast the two concepts. For example, both rely on the reciprocity principle as the central mover of agreement. The biggest difference from trade talks is that when trade talks succeed in solving a collective goods problem, the participants get a short-term, tangible benefit of billions of dollars added to the world economy.
3. Explain the mutual reliance on reciprocity.
4. Discuss the difference between trade talks solving a collective-goods problem and solving environmental collective-goods problems. For example, when trade talks succeed in solving a collective goods problem, the participants get a short-term, tangible benefit of billions of dollars added to the world economy. When environmental collective goods problems are solved, the participants get a short-term, tangible bill to pay, and then long-term benefits.
5. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.
