Description
Environment and Politics 4th Edition is a concise introduction to this ever-expanding interdisciplinary field, explaining and illustrating how concepts, conflicts, movements, political systems and the practices of policy-making can be analysed in a systematic way. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the key themes that shape the field, and examines a diverse range of environmental problems and policy solutions found in different countries and cultures.
The new edition has been extensively revised to include up-to-date explanation of green political theories and traditions and the debates that shape action on the ground. It contains an expanded discussion of environmental movements that work in the Global North, the Global South and transnationally. Greater attention has been given to the roles of corporations, non-governmental organizations, the media, consumers and citizens in order to reflect the changing nature of environmental governance. The text also focuses throughout on debates surrounding the concepts of environmental security, environmental justice and environmental citizenship.
The authors examine the institutional responses of parliaments, administrative, legal and electoral systems; the more informal politics of social movements; and the politics of markets and the corporate sector as they respond to (or resist) the greening of societies. This engaging text has been fully updated to offer readers a greater understanding of international, national and local environmental politics as well as expected future developments at all levels.
Environment and Politics continues to use illustrative examples of conflicts, people and events spanning North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, giving it global perspective and relevance.
Each chapter includes questions for debate as well as a list of key words and resources for independent research. This successful textbook remains a key resource for undergraduate and postgraduate studies across politics, environmental studies, development studies and human geography courses.

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?
This fourth edition by Doyle, McEachern, and MacGregor significantly updates a well-regarded textbook, offering a global perspective on how politics shapes environmental policies. The authors examine environmental politics through a variety of theoretical lenses—from neoliberalism to ecocentrism. Chapters on movements, NGOs, corporations, governance, and citizenship are included, with helpful end-of-chapter keywords and discussion questions.
The treatment of topics is generally nuanced and fair, though the reasons behind the selection of certain themes and examples can be unclear. The book contextualises American environmental issues as part of the 'minority world' demographic. Readers seeking a detailed summary of US environmental legislation may find it lacking. Overall, the book is a thought-provoking and comprehensive textbook in the field.
