Politics and the Environment by James Connelly

Politics and the Environment by James Connelly

This textbook is at the forefront of its field and is an invaluable resource for undergraduates studying environmental politics.

Politics and the Environment has long been a crucial text for introducing the key elements of environmental politicsIn this third edition, the authors provide an excellent updated account of these debates. They range nimbly over the main philosophical underpinnings of environmental debates and the movements driving forward these debates, as well as discuss in detail the responses of political institutions at a variety of levels, from global to local, to environmental problems. Students in the field will come away informed and enriched.

Matthew Paterson, University of Ottawa, Canada

The third edition of this indispensable guide will satisfy both the absolute beginner and the more experienced observer of environmental politics. Fully updated, it steers a deft course between introducing the field and contributing to it, and there is a welcome determination throughout to treat environmental issues as practical problems rather than theoretical curiosities.

Professor Andrew Dobson, Keele University, UK

This expanded edition includes the politics of climate change and expanded coverage of environmental movements and protests. It is a well-balanced introduction to the subject and I highly recommend it.

Christopher Rootes, Professor of Environmental Politics and Political Sociology, University of Kent, UK.

'Not many books establish themselves as classics in such a short space of time. This one has. All the breadth, depth, lucidity and originality of the first edition are present in this fully updated and uprated second one. If there's a bookshelf or a reading list without Politics and the Environment now is the time to put things right.' - Andrew Dobson, Open University, UK
