About This Book

Concern about humanity's impact on the planet has never been greater, but what are the drivers of environmental change? This wide-ranging introductory textbook outlines the competing explanations of why environmental problems occur and examines the different political approaches taken to address them. Adopting a case study approach, Hayley Stevenson enables students to gain a detailed understanding of how theories and concepts are applied in practice. Diverse perspectives on a variety of contemporary environmental challenges, from climate change to hazardous waste, as well as various responses, from multilateral diplomacy to consumer-focused campaigns, provide students with an in-depth understanding of the merits and limitations of different forms of political action. Refined on the basis of classroom feedback, features include textboxes, key points, a glossary of key terms, questions, further reading suggestions and supplementary online resources. This lively book is an essential resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on global environmental politics and environmental policy.

Global
Politics
and
the
Environment
key
points
Scientists
say
that
an
epochal
shift
took
place
in
the
mid-twentieth
century.
We
are
no
longer
in
the
Holocene,
but
rather
the
Anthropocene.
Local,
regional,
and
international
policies
have
been
put
into
place
to
address
environmental
problems
but
the
scale
and
ambition
of
action
rarely
matches
the
scale
of
the
problems.
Capturing
and
holding
public
attention
remains
a
big
challenge
for
those
concerned
about
environmental
change
and
its
impact
on
people.
Environmental
problems
are
complex
political
problems
without
straightforward
solutions.
People
disagree
on
the
nature
of
problems;
their
seriousness
and
priority;
who
should
take
responsibility;
and
what
kind
of
action
is
appropriate.
Many
actors
play
a
role
in
political
processes
aiming
to
improve
environmental
conditions;
the
main
ones
are
states,
scientists,
civil
society,
and
business.
