Environmentalism And Political Theory - Toward An Ecocentric Approach (Paperback)

This work aims to provide a detailed and comprehensive examination of the impact of environmentalism on contemporary political thought. It sets out to disentangle the various strands of Green political thought and explain their relationship to the major Western political traditions. The book represents the consolidation of a new field of political enquiry that is becoming an increasingly important component of political studies throughout the world. Eckersley's interdisciplinary study builds bridges between environmental philosophy, ecological thought and political enquiry, using a range of new insights from environmental philosophy to outline a particular Green political perspective.
