Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. In a world confronted with escalating environmental crises, are academics asking the right questions and advocating the best solutions? This Research Agenda paves the way for new and established scholars in the field, identifying the significant gaps in research and emerging issues for future generations in global environmental politics. From an analysis of state and non-state environmental governance to the politics of climate change, food sustainability, forests and oceans, the preeminent academics and leading researchers take an important step in establishing an agenda for the future trajectory of research. Split into three sections - global environmental governance, the politics of environmental problems, and engaged research and scholar activism - chapters discuss the most influential steps in recent environmental and political studies and offer original perspectives on the future trends. Inspiring the next generation of academics and activists, this Research Agenda provides excellent guidance for graduate students and supervisors looking for the most innovative and pressing research questions in environmental politics.Contributors include: J.

'This expertly edited collection brings together leading scholars to provide an authoritative overview of some of the most pressing and complex challenges in global environmental politics, from climate change to plastics waste, sustainable food and the protection of oceans. The book is an invaluable source for students, scholars - and activists.'--Robert Falkner, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK'This is a timely and highly insightful book by some of the most respected scholars in the field. It has the potential to set the research agenda for global environmental politics. I will definitely be recommending it as a core reading for my students.' --Chukwumerije Okereke, University of Reading, UK'This book does exactly what it says on the tin: it lays out an ambitious research agenda for global environmental politics. And it does so with aplomb. The chapters portray richly the latest research across the breadth of the field, focusing in particular on novel ways of studying the subject. But they also emphasize strongly the engaged quality of the field's best work, connecting research to practice in various ways. A must for all thinking about how to take global environmental politics forward in the coming years.'--Matthew Paterson, University of Manchester, UK
