The Nile on eBay   Global Environmental Politics in a Turbulent Era by Peter Dauvergne, Leah Shipton

With the rapid destabilization, escalation and convergence of various environmental crises, global environmental politics is facing extreme turbulence. Tracing the causes, consequences and dangers of planetary turbulence, this essential book identifies the emerging opportunities to improve governance in environmental politics and transition the world order toward greater equity, justice and sustainability.Providing a comprehensive understanding of the nature and breadth of global environmental politics, leading scholars investigate the intersecting crisis events of this turbulent era. Chapters explore the political, environmental and economic issues surrounding growing inequality: soaring food and fuel prices; record numbers of migrants and refugees fleeing persecution and destitution; and the intensification of climate change. Finding the sources of turbulence to be overlapping and reinforcing, the book digs deeper into how various actors generate turbulence, looking closely at state sovereignty, civil society and societal organizations. Forward thinking, it reflects how different practices, conditions, lenses, and tools can create future avenues to imagine, facilitate, and actualize solutions for global sustainability during times of extreme turbulence.Interdisciplinary and international in scope, this insightful book will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars of environmental politics, policy, and governance; alongside policymakers and organizations looking to realize the Sustainable Development Goals.

Review

'A genuinely novel take on the broad nature of global environmental politics is a rare thing, but Dauvergne and Shipton have succeeded with gusto. Deploying the concept of turbulence – the sense of constant churn, multiple intersecting crises that never resolve but transform, disrupting lives in myriad ways – to great effect, this book provides an overarching framework for understanding how we might pursue sustainability in this context. It also details this in relation to a wide range of familiar and unfamiliar cases alike. All that is solid may be melting into air, but Dauvergne and Shipton help us guide our way through the turbulence.' -- Matthew Paterson, University of Manchester, UK'Dauvergne and Shipton's remarkable volume brings together an amazing array of scholars who collectively provide a deep engagement with the unsettling forces at the root of overlapping global environmental crises, while also highlighting the opportunities that turbulence brings to transform our world for the better. It is a must read.' -- Matthew Hoffmann, University of Toronto, Canada
