Kevin Gallagher,<\/a> Professor of Global Development Policy at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University,<\/a> was profiled in a Q&A session in the September 2015 edition of the monthly journal EcoAmericas.<\/a><\/p>\n

Research by the Global Economic Governance Initiative (GEGI)<\/a>, a Pardee School-affiliated research initiative of which Gallagher is co-chair, was also heavily featured in the edition’s centerpiece article, entitled “Chinese Investors Pose Challenge for NGOs.”<\/a><\/p>\n

From the text of Gallagher’s interview:<\/p>\n

China has been a significant and independent\u00a0driver of environmental degradation in the region since the\u00a0turn of the century. It has driven economic growth, but growth\u00a0that has been based on the region selling China primary commodities\u00a0such as soybeans and metals. Such production and\u00a0export are highly land intensive, often involving land conversion\u00a0in highly forested areas and thus accentuating pressure on\u00a0everything from local livelihoods to global climate change. We\u00a0find Latin American exports to China are two times more CO2\u00a0intensive and ten times more water intensive than the region\u2019s\u00a0economies as a whole.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

EcoAm\u00e9ricas covers development and the environment in Latin America for an international audience of businesses, NGOs and public agencies.\u00a0EcoAm\u00e9ricas provides continuing, objective coverage at a time when reporting on Latin American environmental issues has been piecemeal at best–and too often biased by competing agendas.<\/p>\n
