The Challenge of Globalization and Transnational Environmental Crime

Abstract

Globalisation is a concept used in discribing the world as a small compact-village. Viewed in this perspective, what happens in one part of the globe easily gets affected by all other parts. Thus, environmental crimes committed in one country can easily permeate other countries due to easy communication and transportation, which are associated with globalisation. Globalisation, therefore has important consequences on environmental crimes. The challenges or consequences (both negetive and positive) of globalisation on transnational environmental crimes are consideed in this article.
