As Carl Death demonstrates, the ways in which they are addressing them have important political ramifications, and challenge current understandings of green politics. Death draws on almost a decade of research to reveal how central African environmental politics are to the transformation of African states.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50348056903953,"sku":"CIN0300215835G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300215835.jpg?v=1751005858"},{"product_id":"critical-environmental-politics-book-carl-death-9780415631037","title":"Critical Environmental Politics","description":"The 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.   The 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.   Rather 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).  Features and benefits of the book:         Explains the most important concepts and theories in environmental politics.       Reviews the core ideas behind crucial debates in environmental politics.      Highlights the key thinkers – both classic and contemporary – for studying environmental politics.      Provides original perspectives on the critical potential of the concepts for future research agendas as well as for the practice of environmental politics.  Each chapter is written by leading international authors in their field.   This 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697104720145,"sku":"NGR9780415631037","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51211586502929,"sku":"NIN9780415631037","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521638035729,"sku":"NLS9780415631037","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415631033.jpg?v=1751358106"},{"product_id":"governing-sustainable-development-book-carl-death-9780415569262","title":"Governing Sustainable Development","description":"Multilateral UN summits from Stockholm to Copenhagen have set the pace and direction for the global governance of sustainable development. The 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) was a key moment in the evolution of sustainable development as a discourse and summitry as a technology of government. It firmly established multi-stakeholder partnerships, carbon-trading and communication strategies as primary techniques for dealing with environmental crises. It was also a significant event in terms of South African domestic politics, witnessing some of the largest protests since the end of Apartheid.  Carl Death draws on Foucauldian governmentality literature to argue that the Johannesburg Summit was a key site for the refashioning of sustainable development as advanced liberal government; for the emergence of an exemplary logic of rule; and for the mutually interdependent relationship between ‘mega-events’ (summits, world cups, Olympic games) and ‘mega-protests’ understood as Foucauldian counter-conducts.  Analysing detailed and original research on the WSSD, Death argues that summits work to make politically sustainable a global order which is manifestly unsustainable. Paradoxically however, they also provide opportunities for the status quo to be protested and resisted. This work will be of great interest to scholars of development studies, global governance and environmental politics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51084674334993,"sku":"NIN9780415569262","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521905094929,"sku":"NLS9780415569262","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415569265.jpg?v=1751391474"},{"product_id":"african-climate-futures-book-carl-death-9780198960744","title":"African Climate Futures","description":"African Climate Futures shows how climate-changed futures are imagined in Africa and by Africans, and how these future visions shape political debates and struggles in the present. Scientific climate scenarios forecast bleak futures, with increased droughts, floods, lethal heatwaves, sea level rises, declining crop yields, and greater exposure to vector-borne diseases. Yet, African climate futures could also encompass energy transitions and socio-economic revolutions, transformed political agency and human subjectivities, and radically reparative more-than-human climate politics.  At the heart of the book is an original and interdisciplinary approach. It studies official climate policy strategies and fictional texts side-by-side, as ecopolitical imaginaries that envision low-carbon, climate-changed futures, and narrate pathways from 'here' to 'there'. It discusses net zero strategies from Ethiopia, The Gambia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and draws on postcolonial, feminist, and queer theory, arguing that Africanfuturist climate fiction can inspire more radical, reparative, more-than-human ecopolitical imaginaries. These stories can help us to understand the debts we all owe, imagine what reparations might entail, and explore the contours of living convivially alongside more-than-human others in heterotopian, climate-changed futures.   Stories can help explore how we might feel in climate-changed futures and can help us to narrate a path through them. This book uses Africanfuturist climate fiction to inspire new ways of challenging and enriching theoretical debates in global climate change politics, including how we understand the places, temporalities, ecologies, and politics of climate futures. If we want to survive to tell new stories in liveable futures then we need to urgently and radically transform carboniferous capitalism.  Oxford Studies in African Politics and International Relations is a series for scholars  and students working on African politics and International Relations and related  disciplines. Volumes concentrate on contemporary developments in African political  science, political economy, and International Relations, such as electoral politics,  democratization, decentralization, gender and political representation, the political  impact of natural resources, the dynamics and consequences of conflict, comparative  political thought, and the nature of the continent's engagement with the East and  West. Comparative and mixed methods work is particularly encouraged. Case studies  are welcomed but should demonstrate the broader theoretical and empirical  implications of the study and its wider relevance to contemporary debates. The focus  of the series is on sub-Saharan Africa, although proposals that explain how the region  engages with North Africa and other parts of the world are of interest.   Series Editors: Nic Cheeseman (University of Birmingham), Peace Medie (University of Bristol), and Ricardo Soares de Oliveira (University of Oxford).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51595226448145,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51595226611985,"sku":"NGR9780198960744","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52866317517073,"sku":"NIN9780198960744","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0198960743.jpg?v=1750843672"},{"product_id":"governing-sustainable-development-book-carl-death-9780415500470","title":"Governing Sustainable Development","description":"This book is a theoretically-informed empirical examination of the political consequences of the World Summit on Sustainable Development.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52535978164497,"sku":"NLS9780415500470","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415500470.jpg?v=1760672764"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-carl-death.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
