Abstract
The specific aim of this chapter is to examine and describe the impact of CAFTA-DR's environmental provisions on strategy formulation and development decisions of domestic and multinational firms in member countries. This chapter also provides an overview of CAFTA-DR's member countries and the theoretical framework by which the impact of the treaty's environmental provisions are assessed. Finally, the chapter examines how voluntary mechanisms of environmental self-regulation such as ISO 14001 have impacted the strategy of domestic and international firms. The latest trends in the region are presented in charts and tables.
