Description

Our understanding of politics is deeply intertwined with environmental conditions and crises. In this new textbook, Steve Vanderheiden explores how the concept of sustainability challenges traditional political ideas, such as freedom, equality, democracy, and sovereignty. Vanderheiden examines eight key social and political concepts in relation to sustainability, revealing how environmental change may disrupt cherished ideals and requiring new indicators of progress, forms of community, and conceptions of agency and responsibility. He draws on canonical texts, contemporary approaches, and vivid examples to illustrate the impact of changing our conceptualization of social aspirations on a transition to a just and sustainable society. This book provides a clear explanation of essential concepts, balanced with cutting-edge analysis, making it an invaluable resource for students of environmental and green political theory.
