This book by two leading scholars offers the first systematic
analysis of the relationship between globalization and the
environment from the early Modern period to the present. Peter
Christoff and Robyn Eckersley develop a broad conceptual framework
for understanding the globalization of environmental problems and
the highly uneven, often faltering, international political
response. The authors develop linkages between economic
globalization and environmental degradation and explore a range of
key global environmental problems-focusing on the two most
challenging of all: climate change and biodiversity loss. Finally,
they critically explore the challenges of environmental governance
in a world defined by global capitalism and sovereign states.
Providing a normative framework for evaluating global environmental
governance, they suggest alternative institutional and policy
responses. Through a rich set of case studies, this powerful book
will help readers grasp the systemic causes of global environmental
degradation as well as the myriad opportunities for reform of
global environmental governance.
