The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Environment gathers together
state-of-the-art theoretical reflections and empirical research
from leading researchers and practitioners working in this
transdisciplinary and transnational academic field. Over the course
of the book, these contributors provide critical analyses of the
gender dimensions of a wide range of timely and challenging topics,
from sustainable development and climate change politics, to queer
ecology and interspecies ethics in the so-called Anthropocene.
Presenting a comprehensive overview of the development of the field
from early political critiques of the male domination of women and
nature in the 1980s to the sophisticated intersectional and
inclusive analyses of the present, the volume is divided into four
parts: Part I: Foundations Part II: Approaches Part III: Politics,
policy and practice Part IV: Futures. Comprising chapters written
by forty contributors with different perspectives and working in a
wide range of research contexts around the world, this Handbook
will serve as a vital resource for scholars, students, and
practitioners in environmental studies, gender studies, human
geography, and the environmental humanities and social sciences
more broadly.
This book explores the dominant framings and paradigms of
environmental politics, the relationship between academic analysis
and environmental politics, and reflects on the first thirty years
of the journal, Environmental Politics. The book has two purposes.
The first is to identify and discuss the key themes that have
driven scholarship in the field of environmental politics over the
last three decades, and to highlight how this has also led to
oversights and silences, and the marginalisation of important forms
of analysis and thought. As several chapters in the book explore,
problem-solving frameworks have increasingly taken away space from
more radical systemic challenge and critique, as the key themes of
environmental politics have become ever more central to the field
of politics as a whole - and as our understandings of social and
environmental crisis become ever clearer and more urgent. The
second purpose of the volume is to map out a series of new and
developing agendas for environmental politics. The chapters in this
volume focus foremost on questions of justice, materiality, and
power. Discussing state violence, multispecies justice, epistemic
injustice, the circular economy, NGOs, parties, green transition,
and urban climate governance, they call above all for greater
attention to intersectionality and interdisciplinarity, and for
centering key insights about power relations and socio-economic
inequalities into increasingly widespread, yet also often
depoliticised, topics in the study of environmental politics. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of Environmental Politics.
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.

An unprecedented study of environmentalism, environmental
movements, and efforts at "greening" across the globe, written by
culturally embedded scholars with both academic expertise and
first-hand experience with grassroots advocacy. Protection of our
planet, its people, and its natural resources has been a topic of
numerous debates in many nations for the past 50 years. Each
hemisphere, continent, and country has environmental challenges
unique to the region, giving birth to green movements all over the
world. Until now, very few resources have compiled the political,
scientific, economic, philosophical, and religious viewpoints of
these programs in one place. This two-volume work provides a
comprehensive collection of the ideas and actions that inform
environmentalism, at local, national, and regional levels across
the globe. Environmental Movements around the World: Shades of
Green in Politics and Culture includes viewpoints from experts in
the fields of political science, history, international relations,
environmental studies, and sociology that enable readers to compare
and contrast different cultures' attitudes and solutions towards
environmental issues. Providing both a broad view of international
efforts to protect the earth while also spotlighting very specific
examples of environmentally motivated strategies, the set explores
the political strategies and cultural perspectives behind
conservation and environmental activism in countries worldwide.
In Beyond Mothering Earth, Sherilyn MacGregor argues that
celebrations of “earthcare” as women’s unique contribution to
the search for sustainability often neglect to consider the
importance of politics and citizenship in women’s lives. Drawing
on interviews with women who juggle private caring with civic
engagement in quality-of-life concerns, she proposes an
alternative: a project of feminist ecological citizenship that
affirms the practice of citizenship as an intrinsically valuable
activity while allowing foundational aspects of caring labour and
natural processes to flourish. Beyond Mothering Earth provides an
original and empirically grounded understanding of women’s
involvement in quality-of-life activism and an analysis of
citizenship that makes an important contribution to contemporary
discussions of green politics, globalization, neoliberalism, and
democratic justice.
