Liberation Ecologies Environment, Development, Social Movements

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the environment and the future of development continue to be issues of crucial importance. Most explanations of environmental crisis emphasize the role of population growth, thus focusing their attention on the poor. By comparison, Peet and Watts' innovative book elaborates a political-economic explanation drawing from the most recent advances in social theory. This new edition has been extensively revised to reflect recent changes in debates over the real definitions of 'development' and 'environment', and contains nine completely new chapters.Peet, Richard is the author of 'Liberation Ecologies Environment, Development, Social Movements', published 2004 under ISBN 9780415312356 and ISBN 0415312353.
