Globalisation is about transnational politics. While nation-state
governments increasingly struggle with this new politics, which
moves beneath, between and beyond national borders, others entities
like transnational corporations have flourished. But it is not just
business which increasingly bypasses these traditional boundaries.
Environmental groups are also moving though this transnational
space, and their politics are defined by such qualities as
fluidity, ambiguity and rapid changes in identity, mission and
structure. In this book, the politics of environmental movements
are presented as particularly salient examples of these new
phenomena. Drawing on fieldwork from Europe, Asia, America, Africa
and the Middle East, the contributors address a range of
trans-national processes: efforts to construct common agendas
transnationally; the diffusion of new repertoires of environmental
protest; the role of environmental groups in the construction of
new modes of environmental governance; how neo-liberalism affects
local environmental activism; evidence of transnational influences
and pressures on environmental politics in repressive regimes; and
the dilemmas of defining questions of environmental justice and
post-colonial environmental politics without suppressing the
differences between environmentalism in different countries.
