Can, and should, liberalism make itself hospitable to a politics
which does justice to climate change? To what extent are the
values, methods, and assumptions of liberalism adaptable to the
challenges raised? Liberal thinking - broadly construed - may
dominate the Academy and the political landscape. Are the
environmental priorities that are thrown into relief by climate
change a threat to it, or are they an opportunity for it to show
its worth? This book explores fresh arguments by leading scholars,
both of whom are sceptical of liberalism's capacity to meet these
challenges, and sympathetic to the project of developing liberal
values so as to create a liberal approach that can deliver climate
change justice. The chapters appeal to new insights and
considerations reveal the complexity of the issues at stake in the
real world of climate change politics. They make the political
theory of climate change justice available to decision-makers whose
practice will determine whether we achieve it. This book was
previously published as a special issue of Critical Review of
International Social and Political Economy.
