Environmental Justice, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Revised and fully updated, Environmental Justice: Key Issues offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of environmental justice, one of the most dynamic fields in environmental politics scholarship.

The rapidly growing body of research on environmental justice has brought about a proliferation of ideas, concepts, approaches, and methodological developments. As such, the breadth and depth of the field can sometimes be a barrier for aspiring environmental justice students, scholars, and activists. Now in its second edition, this book is unique for its accessible style and innovative approach to exploring environmental justice. Written by leading international experts, its chapters combine authoritative commentary with real-life cases. Organised into four parts, they help the reader understand the foundations of the field of environmental justice studies, including the principal concepts, debates, and historical milestones. Also explored are the intersections between environmental justice and other contemporary struggles and approaches, including climate and energy justice, just transition, and justice for non-humans, as well as feminist, decolonial, and intersectional approaches. A brand new section on disciplinary insights provides a steppingstone for a critical and interdisciplinary study of environmental justice, and each chapter features learning outcomes, follow-up questions, and references for further reading, making the book a useful tool for both teaching and learning.

Environmental Justice: Key Issues is the ideal toolkit for junior researchers, graduate students, undergraduates, and anyone in need of a comprehensive introduction to environmental justice.
