Climate Change and the Nation State

Description

Climate Change and the Nation State is a major new book on why the most urgent issue confronting us all needs national solutions.

Anatol Lieven's major new book provides the frame that has long been needed to understand how we should react to climate change. This is a vast challenge, but we have often in the past had to deal with such challenges—the industrial revolution, major wars, and mass migration have seen mobilisations of human energy on the greatest scale. Just as previous generations had to face the unwanted and unpalatable, so do we.

In a series of incisive, compelling interventions, Lieven shows how, in this emergency, our crucial building block is the nation state. The drastic action required both to change our habits and protect ourselves can be carried out not through some vague globalism but through maintaining social cohesion and through our current governmental, fiscal, and military structures.

This is a book which will provoke innumerable discussions.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Climate Change and the Nation State by Anatol Lieven is described as a provocative and original analysis of the intersecting issues of nationalism and climate change. Reviews highlight the book's compelling argument that nationalism need not be at odds with climate action and that civic nationalism can be a powerful tool against the climate crisis. Lieven's work is praised for offering a bold blueprint for social and political transformation, advocating action at the national level rather than relying solely on global initiatives. The book is regarded as essential reading for its prescient insights and well-argued case for radical change in addressing environmental challenges.
