Rethinking Green Politics: Nature, Virtue and Progress (SAGE Politics Texts series)

By John Barry

Book Overview

Rethinking Green Politics offers a wide-ranging and critical analysis of the theoretical framework that underpins the values, principles and concerns of contemporary green politics. John Barry challenges the ecocentric and anarchistic traits of much green political ideology; proposes that we rethink green politics by refocusing attention away from ideology to theory; and develops an important critique and reconstruction of existing conceptualizations such as those around 'deep' and 'shallow' green thinking, or 'ecologism' and 'environmentalism'.
