| Description: | Select Guide Rating Environmental problems are firmly on the political agenda, and we cannot ignore issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Responding to these recent developments, this third edition has been revised to include new discussions on climate justice, the UK Climate Change Bill and environmental demonstrations against fracking. Environmental problems are firmly on the political agenda. The stark threat to the planet from climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution can no longer be ignored by governments, political parties, businesses or individuals. Responding to the considerable developments of the last decade, Neil Carter has updated his popular textbook thoroughly, while retaining the existing structure of previous editions. The Politics of the Environment continues to analyse the relationship between ''green ideas'' and other political doctrines, the development of green parties and public policymaking, and environmental issues at international, national and local levels. It provides students with a comprehensive comparative introduction to ideas, activism and policy. New to this edition are discussions on climate justice, climate legislation and recent environmental struggles, such as demonstrations against fracking. It employs a variety of global examples and includes pedagogical features such as boxes, a glossary and guides to further study. |
