This book introduces readers to the discipline of ecological
political economy, an approach that aims at a theoretical synthesis
of nature, production and power relations. At its heart is a
critical appreciation of the social institutions and organizations
that can provide the basis for strong environmental sustainability.
The complex of ecological, political and economic
interrelationships are analysed by eleven authors from backgrounds
in economics, political theory, political economy, law and
theology. Unifying the disparate treatments is each author's
commitment to critical reflection in the pursuit of an ever-more
informed debate. Key themes include the nature of 'community', the
role of civil society in resisting and reforming modern
(un)sustainable development, the new place of transnational
advocacy networks, the transformative possibilities for the state
and new economic institutions. This book will be of special
interest to political scientists and economists, as well as
geographers, sociologists and students of environmental studies.
