About this title

Synopsis

The global environmental problems that currently exist have been caused by democratic states. If the environmental impacts of democratic states had never occurred then the human perturbations of the environment would not be large enough to constitute a set of global environmental problems. If democratic states had never existed would we today face a number of global environmental problems? In this book the author considers the relationship between communism and the environment, both in theory and through the experiences of the former communist countries of Eastern Europe.

From the Publisher

The environmental degradation that occurred in the Eastern European communist countries is often taken as evidence that there is a tension between communism and the protection of the environment. By considering a wide range of factors which contributed to the environmental degradation which occurred in Eastern Europe the author is able to conclude that communism was not the driving force behind this degradation. Indeed, it is concluded that communism is compatible with a high level of environmental protection.
