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
