Environment and Politics 4th Edition is a concise introduction to
this ever-expanding interdisciplinary field, explaining and
illustrating how concepts, conflicts, movements, political systems
and the practices of policy-making can be analysed in a systematic
way. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the key themes
that shape the field, and examines a diverse range of environmental
problems and policy solutions found in different countries and
cultures. The new edition has been extensively revised to include
up-to-date explanation of green political theories and traditions
and the debates that shape action on the ground. It contains an
expanded discussion of environmental movements that work in the
Global North, the Global South and transnationally. Greater
attention has been given to the roles of corporations,
non-governmental organizations, the media, consumers and citizens
in order to reflect the changing nature of environmental
governance. The text also focuses throughout on debates surrounding
the concepts of environmental security, environmental justice and
environmental citizenship. The authors examine the institutional
responses of parliaments, administrative, legal and electoral
systems; the more informal politics of social movements; and the
politics of markets and the corporate sector as they respond to (or
resist) the greening of societies. This engaging text has been
fully updated to offer readers a greater understanding of
international, national and local environmental politics as well as
expected future developments at all levels. Environment and
Politics continues to use illustrative examples of conflicts,
people and events spanning North and South America, Europe, Asia,
Africa and Australia, giving it global perspective and relevance.
Each chapter includes questions for debate as well as a list of key
words and resources for independent research. This successful
textbook remains a key resource for undergraduate and postgraduate
studies across politics, environmental studies, development studies
and human geography courses.
