Maintaining a critical, stimulating and thought-provoking spirit, Schnaiberg, Gould and Pellow move beyond the field of environmental sociology in the volume at hand. Aiming to interpret twenty-first-century political economy, environment, and social justice dilemmas, they explore in novel ways the transnationalization of the treadmill of production, thus extending Schnaiberg s original theory. Their multilevel and U.S.-focused analysis enlighten the reader with their emphasis on global scale hegemonic as well as counterhegemonic political processes. Neither pessimists nor optimists, they view with caution and analyze with care the potential impacts of new transnational forms of resistance. Their unique approach lays out a promising research agenda on the new politics of the environment for critical social scientists.

“Few works of social science prove enduring, much less prophetic. Allan Schnaiberg’s environmental sociology, first introduced in the 1980s, is here refashioned for the challenges of twenty-first-century globalization. Schnaiberg and his coauthors reach across the generations with profound insight, demonstrated prescience, and a new vision of social justice.” —John Walton, Distinguished Research Professor, University of California “The book represents an essential point of departure for understanding and addressing the challenges of controlling global environmental change in the twenty-first-century.” —Thomas K. Rudel, Rutgers University “Lays out a promising research agenda on the new politics of the environment for critical social scientists.” —Maria Kousis, University of Crete
