Rezensionen

'What a wonderful book! Her book is rare for textbooks in the field in insisting on starting with the question of why environmental degradation occurs, and that this is a political question. This gives admirable focus to the volume that then covers the topics that are taught in courses on Global Environmental Politics (GEP) with great clarity. Students who are blessed to have Hayley Stevenson's book as their introduction to GEP will come away enriched and with a clarity of understanding that is hard to match.' Matthew Paterson, University of Manchester
