Our politics is intimately linked to the environmental conditions -
and crises - of our time. The challenges of sustainability and the
discovery of ecological limits to growth are transforming how we
understand the core concepts at the heart of political theory. In
this essential new textbook, leading political theorist Steve
Vanderheiden examines how the concept of sustainability challenges
- and is challenged - by eight key social and political ideas,
ranging from freedom and equality to democracy and sovereignty. He
shows that environmental change will disrupt some of our most
cherished ideals, requiring new indicators of progress, new forms
of community, and new conceptions of agency and responsibility. He
draws on canonical texts, contemporary approaches to environmental
political theory, and vivid examples to illustrate how changes in
our conceptualization of our social aspirations can inhibit or
enable a transition to a just and sustainable society. Vanderheiden
masterfully balances crystal clear explanation of the essentials
with cutting-edge analysis to produce a book that will be core
reading for students of environmental and green political theory
everywhere.
