Political Ecology

'In this new and greatly expanded edition of the 1991 classic Political Ecology, Dimitri Roussopoulos delves into the century-old history of enviromentalism to explain the failure of the state management of the ecological crisis. He explores the variety of responses of civil society and the prospects for channelling environmentalist aspirations into political alternatives, emphasising the ideas of social ecology and the central role of democratic neighbourhoods and cities in developing alternatives. Ecologists, Roussopoulos argues, aim for more than protecting the environment; they call for new communities, new lifestyles, and a new way of doing politics.' Dimitri Roussopoulos.
