Edited by Jessica Tuchman Matthews Seventy-six men and women from 18 countries, representing a spectrum of government, business, labor, academia, the media and the professions gathered in April 1990, for the 77th American Assembly entitled "Preserving the Global Environment: The Challenge of Shared Leadership." For three days, they discussed how the United States should reorient its policies and relations toward other countries and international institutions to preserve the environment and cope with rapid global change. This book presents their findings. Chapters on population growth, deforestation and the loss if biological diversity, the ozone layer, energy and climate change, economics, and other critical trends spell out new approaches to international cooperation and regulation in response to the shift from traditional security concerns to a focus on collective global security.
