    Los autores abordan la dependencia de inversión extranjera y las teorías de la sociedad mundial para examinar los daños medioambientales en los países menos desarrollados. Los resultados de los modelos de regresión de panel con efectos aleatorios nacionales indican que la inversión extranjera en el sector manufacturero contribuye al total de emisiones de dióxido de carbono y las emisiones por unidad de producción. La integración de la sociedad mundial en el contexto presencia de organizaciones medioambientales internacionales no gubernamentales no reprime directamente las emisiones. Sin embargo, una mayor presencia de esas organizaciones en algunos países naciones menos desarrolladas parece mitigar los impactos de la inversión extranjera en las emisiones antropogénicas. Los resultados son en forma de datos netos de la población, nivel de desarrollo y otros factores estructurales.

    The authors engage foreign investment dependence and world society theories to examine environmental harms in less-developed countries. Results of cross-national random effects panel regression models indicate that foreign investment in manufacturing contributes to total carbon dioxide emissions and emissions per unit of production. World society integration in the context of environmental international non-governmental organization presence does not directly suppress emissions. However, a stronger presence of such organizations in some less-developed nations appears to mitigate the impacts of foreign investment on anthropogenic emissions. These results hold, net of population, level of development, and other structural factors.
