The complexities and scope of environmental issues have not only
outpaced the capacities and responsiveness of traditional political
actors but also generated new innovations, constituencies, and
approaches to governing environmental problems. In response,
comparative environmental politics (CEP) has emerged as a vibrant
and growing field of scholarly inquiry, embracing new questions and
methods even as it addresses enduring questions in the broader
field of comparative politics. Utilizing a range of methodological
approaches, The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Environmental
Politics delves into more traditional forms of CEP—the political
economy of natural resources and the role of corporations and
supply chains—while also showcasing new trends in CEP
scholarship, particularly the comparative study of environmental
injustice and intersectional inequities. Moving beyond the field's
earlier work that focused on cross-national comparisons of
political institutions, regulatory styles, and state-society
relations, the Handbook includes approaches from political science,
anthropology, sociology, geography, gender theory, law, human
rights, and development studies. Moreover, the chapters highlight
scholarship from a broader range of regions, and analyze the
construction and diffusion of norms, rights, ethics, and ideology
across the globe and through various social movements (with a focus
on approaches from the Global South). Including 42 chapters,
organized across 9 sections, The Oxford Handbook of Comparative
Environmental Politics explores some of the most important
environmental issues through the lens of comparative politics,
including energy, climate change, food, health, urbanization,
waste, and sustainability.
