Climate Action in a Globalizing World: Comparative Perspectives on Environmental Movements in the Global North
Editat de Carl Cassegard, Linda Soneryd, Hakan Thorn, Asa Wettergrenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2017
This book provides a unique comparative study of environmental movements in USA, Japan, Denmark and Sweden, analyzing their interaction with the international climate institutions of the United Nations, with national governments, and with currents in the global climate movement. It documents how and why the movement evolved between the Copenhagen Summit of 2009 and the Paris Summit of 2015, altering its strategies and tactics while attracting new actors to the issue area. Further, it demonstrates how the development of global environmental networks has increased contact between environmental movements in the Global North and those from the Global South, resulting in the establishment of ‘climate justice’ as a political cause and unifying frame for global climate activism.

Recenzii
"At a time when the prospects of dealing with climate change have taken a drastic turn for the worse, with the election of Donald Trump as US President, this book provides a glimmer of hope with its in-depth study of climate activism throughout the world. Highly recommended!" - Andrew Jamison, Aalborg University, Denmark
"This book could not be more timely. Climate change is the most important issue facing humanity in the twenty-first century. This comparative study of climate change activism helps us understand how it might best be confronted." - Ronald Eyerman, Yale University, USA
"With a firm understanding of both environmental politics and the latest theoretical thinking, this book persuasively unravels the relationships between policymaking and social movements, power, responsibility and resistance. In so doing, it reveals the complexity of global climate governance but also demonstrates the inseparability of climate and global justice. No reader can be left in doubt about the challenges, dilemmas and opportunities facing climate action and climate activism." - Alan Irwin, Department of Organization, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
