Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: June, 23 , 2005Livelihoods of the rural poor in developing countries are critically dependent on the
health of the local ecosystems. In this paper they examine the various mechanisms
through which globalization can lead to ecosystem degradation, and consequently
poverty. Models on ecosystem dynamics from ecology are examined and linked to
models in new institutional economics that examine how institutions and technologies
evolve in the process of globalization. [Research Paper No. 2005/28]
