Reviews
'...an innovative and thoughtful approach to global environmental politics...a point of departure for future critical scholarship.' - Marc Williams, International Affairs '...a fine and lucidly written example of the necessary interdisciplinarity with which the environmental problematic needs to be subjected...will become a standard reference at least in International Relations...This is a good book. It is a book that will be of value across the disciplines. It is also a book that has value across the levels of engagement from undergraduate specialist text to postgraduate course book, from general interest readership to international theory specialists.' - Julian Saurin, University of Sussex
