Routledge Rethinking the Green State: Environmental Governance & Climate Transitions

Rethinking the Green State offers a systematic and comprehensive analysis of how environmental governance is evolving to address climate and sustainability challenges. Drawing on political theory, feminist theory, post-structuralism, and institutional analysis, this Routledge Studies in Sustainability volume conceptualises the green state as a critical actor in environmental, climate and sustainability politics. The book explores the principles guiding the emergence of the green state and examines its performance in the context of climate and sustainability transitions. It provides essential frameworks for understanding how states are transforming their institutions and practices to meet contemporary environmental demands. This work bridges academic theory with practical governance approaches, making it invaluable for scholars, policymakers and students engaged in environmental politics, public administration and sustainability studies.
