US CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY

Transforming Environmental Politics and Policy

Series Editors:

The theory and practice of environmental politics and policy are rapidly emerging as key areas of intense concern in the first, third and industrializing worlds. People of diverse nationalities, religions and cultures wrestle daily with environment and development issues central to human and non-human survival on the planet Earth. Air, Water, Earth, Fire. These central elements mix together in so many ways, spinning off new constellations of issues, ideas and actions, gathering under a multitude of banners: energy security, food sovereignty, climate change, genetic modification, environmental justice and sustainability, population growth, water quality and access, air pollution, mal-distribution and over-consumption of scarce resources, the rights of the non-human, the welfare of future citizensthe list goes on.

What is much needed in green debates is for theoretical discussions to be rooted in policy outcomes and service delivery. So, while still engaging in the theoretical realm, this series also seeks to provide a real world policymaking dimension. Politics and policymaking is interpreted widely here to include the territories, discourses, instruments and domains of political parties, non-governmental organizations, protest movements, corporations, international regimes, and transnational networks.

From the local to the globaland back againthis series explores environmental politics and policy within countries and cultures, researching the ways in which green issues cross North-South and East-West divides. The Transforming Environmental Politics and Policy series exposes the exciting ways in which environmental politics and policy can transform political relationships, in all their forms.

Series Editors Preface

The beginnings of this series emerged at Keele University in a collaboration between Tim Doyle and Phil Catney. Since the late 1970s, Keele has been renowned across the globe as one of the leading universities engaged in teaching and research into the politics and international relations of the environment.

Our initial conversations with Ashgate were around two objectives. First, we wanted to transform the rather narrow, dominant conceptions of environmental politics and policyparticularly in the global Northby opening it up to include issues more central to traditional human politics and policymaking. Gone are the days when the environment is something that people engage in (and with) as some kind of luxury pursuit, when and if they have the time and the resources to do it. Nowadays, environmental issuesboth in the North and the Southare front and centre. Secondly, we strongly felt that much needed in environmental debates was for theoretical discussions to be rooted in policy outcomes and service delivery. In short, the series would look at the exciting ways in which environmental politics and policy can transform governance, in all its forms.
