Multiple 'green transformations' are required if humanity is to
live sustainably on planet Earth. Recalling past transformations,
this book examines what makes the current challenge different, and
especially urgent. It examines how green transformations must take
place in the context of the particular moments of capitalist
development, and in relation to particular alliances. The role of
the state is emphasised, both in terms of the type of incentives
required to make green transformations politically feasible and the
way states must take a developmental role in financing innovation
and technology for green transformations. The book also highlights
the role of citizens, as innovators, entrepreneurs, green consumers
and members of social movements. Green transformations must be both
'top-down', involving elite alliances between states and business,
but also 'bottom up', pushed by grassroots innovators and
entrepreneurs, and part of wider mobilisations among civil society.
The chapters in the book draw on international examples to
emphasise how contexts matter in shaping pathways to sustainability
Written by experts in the field, this book will be of great
interest to researchers and students in environmental studies,
international relations, political science, development studies,
geography and anthropology, as well as policymakers and
practitioners concerned with sustainability.
