Routledge Global Political Ecology - Routledge Environmental Studies

Global Political Ecology examines the intersection of political economy and environmental crises in contemporary capitalism. This critical volume brings together contributions from twenty-five leading intellectuals who explore how global economic systems drive environmental disasters and shape failed environmental policies. The book begins with an introductory chapter that grounds readers in political ecology frameworks and synthesises the volume's key findings. By linking capitalism's political economy with real-world environmental challenges, this collection offers a rigorous analysis of why mainstream solutions remain superficial and fragmented. Ideal for scholars, students, and practitioners in human geography, development studies, and environmental policy, Global Political Ecology provides essential theoretical tools for understanding the systemic roots of global environmental crises and developing more effective responses.
