Our Common Environment and Globalization

Shadows and Hopes

Acceptance of the need for global environmental cooperation and agreeing on its basic principles and directions

A new period of cooperation started in the late 1960s and lasted nearly two decades. This was triggered by further strengthening international tension due to accelerating demands for natural resources and more recent scientific indications of the potentially extensive and harmful implications of the emissions of various pollutants. As regards key resources, the two oil crises of the 1970s generated very serious lessons. The first phase of the said period was the so-called ‘détente’ (thawing of East–West confrontation), followed by the return to the Cold War ‘political climate’ for a while and the economic recession from the early 1980s onwards (with the especially worsening economic situation in Eastern European countries in the second half of that decade). The latter developments set back again – albeit not entirely – international efforts to address large-scale environmental problems.
