Recenzii

"This comprehensively revised and updated version of the book provides a wide-ranging and accessible guide to the key actors, issues and processes in Global Environmental Politics. From case studies on climate change, forests, food and biodiversity through to key topics such as security, justice, technology and consumption, it will be of immense value to students wanting to understand, explain and engage with the rapidly changing world of environmental politics." - Peter Newell, University of Sussex, UK.
"The pressure on the global environment is still alarming and global environmental politics remains an extremely dynamic and contested field. Therefore, credit is due to Gabriela Kütting and Kyle Herman for editing this updated volume which introduces us to key approaches and important issues. The volume presents important insights for students and includes many suggestions for research and politics which lay ahead. Further, it shows convincingly that justice plays an increasingly important role in global environmental policy making." - Ulrich Brand, University of Vienna, Austria.
"This is an up-to-date and accessible introduction to global environmental politics. The concepts are well explained and presented in a logical sequence. The various chapters, written by highly regarded experts in the field, provide a coherent mix of solid theoretical background and cutting edge case studies. I will definitely be recommending it to my students." - Chukwumerije Okereke, University of Reading, UK.
