Inside Story, with presenter Imran Garda, discusses with guests: Daniela Vincenti-Mitchener, the managing editor of EurActiv, the EU's information website, Vandana Shiva, an ecologist and environmental activist, and Scott Lucas, a professor of American studies at the University of Birmingham.

This episode of Inside Story aired from Sunday, December 20, 2009.
