In what ways is climate change political? This book addresses this
key - but oddly neglected - question. It argues that in order to
answer it we need to understand politics in a three-fold way: as a
site of authoritative, public decision-making; as a question of
power; and as a conflictual phenomenon. Recurring themes center on
de- and re-politicization, and a tension between attempts to
simplify climate change to a single problem and its intrinsic
complexity. These dynamics are driven by processes of capital
accumulation and their associated subjectivities. The book explores
these arguments through an analysis of a specific city - Ottawa -
which acts as a microcosm of these broader processes. It provides
detailed analyses of conflicts over urban planning, transport, and
attempts by city government and other institutions to address
climate change. The book will be valuable for students and
researches looking at the politics of climate change.
