Routledge Political Ecology of Climate Change Adaptation Book

Explore a new perspective on international development with this academic text from Routledge. This book offers the first systematic critique of climate change adaptation concepts within the field of development studies. By using a reworked political ecology framework, the author argues that climate is not an external force but a part of the social and biophysical forces that produce lived environments in uneven ways. Readers will find a deep investigation into how climate, vulnerability, resilience, and adaptive capacity should be understood in a changing world. The text moves beyond traditional views to examine how these forces impact livelihoods and agrarian change. Through specific case studies from regions including Pakistan and India, the book provides a grounded look at the conflicts of development and the reality of environmental shifts. This work is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals studying economic policy, development, and environmental politics.
