| Description: |
Most explanations of environmental crisis rely for their persuasive power on population growth that displaces attention onto the poor. By comparison, this book elaborates a political/economic explanation drawing from advances in social theory. |
| Synopsis: |
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. |
