Understanding Global Environmental Politics develops a new, critical approach to global environmental politics. It argues that the major power structures of world politics are deeply problematic in ecological terms, and that they cannot be easily used to resolve major environmental challenges such as global warming. Instead of simply advocating the construction of new international institutions to respond to such challenges, therefore, the book argues that the construction of alternative social and political structures in necessary.

'...an innovative and thoughtful approach to global environmental politics...a point of departure for future critical scholarship.' - Marc Williams, International Affairs '...a fine and lucidly written example of the necessary interdisciplinarity with which the environmental problematic needs to be subjected...will become a standard reference at least in International Relations...This is a good book. It is a book that will be of value across the disciplines. It is also a book that has value across the levels of engagement from undergraduate specialist text to postgraduate course book, from general interest readership to international theory specialists.' - Julian Saurin, University of Sussex
