The Routledge Handbook of Political Ecology presents a
comprehensive and authoritative examination of the rapidly growing
field of political ecology. Located at the intersection of
geography, anthropology, sociology, and environmental history,
political ecology is one of the most vibrant and conceptually
diverse fields of inquiry into nature-society relations within the
social sciences. With contributions from over 50 leading scholars,
the Handbook presents a systematic overview of political ecology's
origins, practices, and core concerns, and aims to advance both
ongoing and emerging debates. While there are numerous edited
volumes, textbooks, and monographs under the heading "political
ecology" these have tended to be either collections of empirically
based (mostly case study) research on a given theme, or broad
overviews of the field aimed at undergraduate audiences. The
Routledge Handbook of Political Ecology is the first systematic,
comprehensive overview of the field. With authors from North and
South America, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere, the Handbook
provides a state-of-the-art examination of political ecology;
addresses ongoing and emerging debates in this rapidly evolving
field; and charts new agendas for research, policy, and activism.
The Handbook opens with several chapters that critically reflect on
political ecology and situate it within the broader scope of
nature-society scholarship. These are followed by a section on the
practice of political ecology: ethics, methods, activism, and
policy. The remainder of the book comprises five sub-sections that
examine fundamental concepts at the heart of political ecology:
environmental knowledge, environmental change, environmental
governance, environmental identities, and environmental politics.
The Routledge Handbook of Political Ecology introduces political
ecology as an interdisciplinary academic field. It will serve as an
excellent resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate
teaching, and as a key reference text for geographers,
anthropologists, sociologists, environmental historians, and others
working in and around the fields of political ecology,
environmental politics, and the political economy of environmental
change.
