This book provides the most detailed and comprehensive examination to date of the impact of environmentalism upon contemporary political thought.

An interdisciplinary study that builds bridges between environmental philosophy, ecological thought, and political inquiry, this book employs a range of new insights from environmental philosophy to outline a particular Green political perspective.
