Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The complexity of linkages in international regimes has led us to a changing paradigm in how we view the economic world. The growing expansion of our telecommunications networks and policies of liberalization have directed many countries to reduce their trade barriers. The consequences of an extensive neoliberal agenda for developing nations are not insubstantial. Increasing levels of industrialization that result from reduction in trade barriers has multiple effects within a country. One specific consequence of expanded industrialization is the generation of significant pollutants and their subsequent effects on the environment. The focus of this paper is to understand the implications that trade openness has had on the environmental conditions of a region and its subsequent effects on public health by providing a model through which measures of trade openness can be compared to fluctuations in environmental pollutants and public health conditions in a region. The measure of trade openness will be measured using an econometric gravity model and the variables of environmental degradation will be operationalized using data from the Global Environmental Monitoring System/ Urban Air Pollution Monitoring and Assessment Program (GEMS/AIR) database to measure increases in the pollutants of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PT). Measuring the rise in the percentages of SO2, NO2 and PT in the years prior and after trade openness have been implemented will determine if there was any variability in the level of environmental degradation that an area experienced. . The study will evaluate all Asian, Latin American and European countries that are within the GEMS/ AIR database It is expected that deregulation of trade will lead to a race to the bottom hypothesis in which less developed countries are willing to lower their environmental standards in order to remain competitive partners in the international system. We also expect to find that greater levels of representation or large selectorates will modify the levels of environmental degradation that a region experiences after trade deregulation has occurred.
