Rezensionen

"A comprehensive, detailed and authoritative treatment of environmental movements world-wide by leading scholars. It is by far the most useful text on this subject for both students and researchers."

Professor Brian Doherty, School of Social, Political and Global Studies, Keele University, UK

"At a time when climate action is more important than ever, Grasso and Giugni offer a globally inclusive overview of environmental movements that highlights the often overlooked role of Indigenous, Global South, anti-capitalist, and youth-led movements."

Janet A. Lorenzen, Associate Professor of Sociology, Willamette University, USA

"This important collection paints a sophisticated picture of the many diverse environmental movements and forms of activism now found in every part of the planet. The impressive range of empirical cases and theoretical framings presented by a diverse group of scholars makes it is an invaluable resource for researchers and students who aspire to a truly interdisciplinary and global understanding of contemporary environmental politics."

Sherilyn MacGregor, Department of Politics, The University of Manchester, UK

"This exciting collection of critical scholarship on environmental movements is stunning in its breadth, depth, and sophistication. The contributors offer a range of new insights into the character, drivers, and consequences of those heterogenous, multiscalar, multigenerational, grassroots and institutionalized collectives that constitute the world's environmental movements. If you are interested in an expansive reference source regarding how ordinary people concerned with our ecological futures are achieving social change in every corner of planet earth, this is the book for you."

David N. Pellow, Dehlsen Chair of Environmental Studies, University of California Santa Barbara, USA

"This handbook is the most comprehensive and variegated treatment of contemporary environmental movements around the world. It covers a broad range of aspects, including issues, political contexts, and movement outcomes. I strongly recommend it to every student and scholar who is interested in the stunning diversity and complexity of a terrain that only can be mapped by a collaborative endeavor of both specialists and comparativists."

Prof. Dr. Dieter Rucht, Social Science Center (WZB) Berlin, Germany
