Reviews
A clear and major advance... The Promise of Green Politics represents a new generation of green political thought that moves beyond earlier texts, which were mostly concerned with staking out the territory. Torgerson tackles many-perhaps most-of the key issues and questions left hanging by others and does so in sophisticated and convincing fashion. - John Dryzek, author of The Politics of the Earth: Environmental Discourses A detailed and penetrating exploration of the relationship between the means and the ends in green politics. Torgerson offers a fresh synthesis of, and new angle on, many of the ongoing environmental debates, from sustainable development and ecological modernization to questions of political strategy and lifestyle. - Robyn Eckersley, author of Environmentalism and Political Theory: Toward an Ecocentric Approach
