Featuring a stellar international cast list of leading and
cutting-edge scholars, The Routledge Handbook of the Political
Economy of the Environment presents the state of the art of the
discipline that considers ecological issues and crises from a
political economy perspective. This collective volume sheds new
light on the effect of economic and power inequality on
environmental dynamics and, conversely, on the economic and social
impact of environmental dynamics. The chapters gathered in this
handbook make four original contributions to the field of political
economy of the environment. First, they revisit essential concepts
and methods of environmental economics in the light of their
political economy. Second, they introduce readers to recent
theoretical and empirical advances in key issues of political
economy of the environment with a special focus on the relationship
between inequality and environmental degradation, a nexus that has
dramatically come into focus with the COVID crisis. Third, the
authors of this handbook open the field to its critical global and
regional dimensions: global issues, such as the environmental
justice movement and inequality and climate change as well as
regional issues such as agriculture systems, air pollution, natural
resources appropriation and urban sustainability. Fourth and
finally, the work shows how novel analysis can translate into new
forms of public policy that require institutional reform and new
policy tools. Ecosystems preservation, international climate
negotiations and climate mitigation policies all have a strong
distributional dimension that chapters point to. Pressing
environmental policy such as carbon pricing and low-carbon and
energy transitions entail numerous social issues that also need to
be accounted for with new analytical and technological tools. This
handbook will be an invaluable reference, research and teaching
tool for anyone interested in political economy approaches to
environmental issues and ecological crises.
