The text combines an accessible introduction to the most important environmental theories and concepts from a broadly critical perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aim of this book is to review central concepts in the study of environmental politics and to open up new questions, problems, and research agendas in the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume does so by drawing on a wide range of approaches from critical theory to poststructuralism, and spanning disciplines including international relations, geography, sociology, history, philosophy, anthropology, and political science. The 28 chapters cover a range of global and local studies, illustrations and cases. These range from the Cochabamba conference in Bolivia to climate camps in the UK; UN summits in Rio de Janeiro and Johannesburg to climate migrants from Pacific islands; forests in Indonesia to Dutch energy governance reform; indigenous communities in Namibia to oil extraction in the Niger Delta; survivalist militias in the USA to Maasai tribesmen in Kenya. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than following a regional or issue-based (e.g. water, forests, pollution, etc) structure, the volume is organised in terms of key concepts in the field, including those which have been central to the social sciences for a long time (such as citizenship, commodification, consumption, feminism, justice, movements, science, security, the state, summits, and technology); those which have been at the heart of environmental politics for many years (including biodiversity, climate change, conservation, eco-centrism, limits, localism, resources, sacrifice, and sustainability); and many which have been introduced to these literatures and debates more recently (biopolitics, governance, governmentality, hybridity, posthumanism, risk, and vulnerability).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures and benefits of the book:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains the most important concepts and theories in environmental politics. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews the core ideas behind crucial debates in environmental politics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights the key thinkers – both classic and contemporary – for studying environmental politics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides original perspectives on the critical potential of the concepts for future research agendas as well as for the practice of environmental politics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is written by leading international authors in their field. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exciting new volume will be essential textbook reading for all students of environmental politics, as well as provocatively presenting the field in a different light for more established researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517594284406,"sku":"9780415631037","price":220.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37652994.jpg?v=1762245631","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780415631037-critical-environmental-politics","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
