¿Regiones verdes? Comparación del activismo de la sociedad civil en el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte y la Unión Europea

Abstract

This paper compares the role of environmental civil society in two regional organizations, the European Union and nafta. It uses the Transnational Advocacy Network approach to assess how non-governmental organizations make use of opportunities to influence policy, and the effects of civil society engagement. Despite wide differences between the two organizations, there are important commonalities: both provide resources and important access points for ngos, both have limits and frustrations, and both encourage coalition-building among NGOS.
