New book: The Globalization of Environmental Crisis
ISBN: 9780415448277
This collection of essays addresses what is arguably the most pressing
and urgent issue of our day - the continuing development of global
environmental crises and the need for new and urgent responses to them by the
world community.
The contributors include social scientists, environmental historians,
anthropologists, and science policy researchers, and together they give an
overview of the history of the globalization of environmental crisis over the
past several decades, both in terms of the science of measurement and the types
of policy and public responses that have emerged to date. The specific issue
areas addressed in the book cover a wide range of topics, including
international environmental governance, North-South inequalities, climate
change, global warming, tropical forests, air pollution, economic and paradigm
shifts, sustainability, indigenous peoples and eco-conservation, EU
environmental policy, the United States and politicized climate science, and
more.
The Globalization of Environmental
Crisis will be of particular interest to all those concerned with the on-going
debate over the state of the global environment and what to do about it.
