The Political Ecology of Austerity explores the environmental
dimension of austerity that has thus far escaped academic, policy,
and media attention. Offering a better comprehension of the full
socio-environmental impact of austerity measures, the book
highlights the importance of considering environmental issues when
designing responses to economic crisis in the future. Mobilising
detailed case studies from across the world, the volume documents
the ways in which austerity impacts global and local ecologies,
shapes environmental conflicts and gives rise to new forms and
practices of social moblisation and resistance. Bringing together
theoretical debates and rigorous case studies, the book proposes
'the political ecology of austerity' as an appropriate method of
analysis that can inform our understanding of the shift in
environmental protection policies and the intensification of growth
practices (green or otherwise) that followed the 2008 global
economic crisis. The Political Ecology of Austerity discloses
austerity to be a globalised set of tools not only for budgetary
discipline, but also for socio-environmental discipline that
justifies the continuation of capital accumulation at the expense
of further global environmental degradation. This book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of social and political
sciences, environmental studies, urban studies, and political
ecology.
