About Critical Environmental Politics

Each chapter draws on critical traditions to examine topics such as neoliberalism, security, justice, and democracy in environmental contexts. As a core academic text, it supports advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses, fostering critical thinking and theoretical depth. The collection is designed to stimulate debate and equip students with the analytical resources needed to engage with the complexities of environmental politics in a rigorous and reflexive manner.
