"This publication presents the proceedings of the European Conference 'Globalisation, Ecology and Economy - Bridging Worlds' (24-26 November 1999, Tilburg, the Netherlands). The proceedings reflect the current understanding among stakeholders regarding the relationship between globalisation, ecology and economy in Europe.
