Green political thought

by Andrew Dobson

Andrew Dobson's cogent and stimulating analysis of the political ideas, aims and strategies of the green movement has quickly established itself as the standard text in the field. This new edition locates ecologism clearly within the general field of political ideologies, discussing the philosophical basis of green politics and the political-theoretical problems it raises. Green Political Thought is an excellent introduction to the field for students of environmental politics and of political ideologies, and for anyone who wishes to know why green ideas are important in the late twentieth century.
