Routledge : The Limits of the Green Economy - Environmental Policy

Explore the complexities of modern environmental governance with The Limits of the Green Economy. This book, part of the Routledge Studies in Environmental Policy series, examines the rise of green economy discourse in international policymaking. While the concept of green growth and innovative partnerships offers an optimistic view of using markets to tackle climate change, this text asks vital questions about the true impact of these strategies. Readers will examine whether the green economy can effectively address major ecological crises or if it lacks the social and democratic depth required for real change. By analyzing the transition from re-inventing capitalism to re-politicising the present, this work provides a necessary critique of current economic models. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and policymakers interested in the intersection of market mechanisms and environmental protection.
