Description - Climate-Challenged Society by John S. Dryzek
This book is an original, accessible, and thought-provoking introduction
to the severe and broad-ranging challenges that climate change presents
and how societies can respond. It synthesizes and deploys cutting-edge
scholarship on the range of social, economic, political, and
philosophical issues surrounding climate change. The treatment is
introductory, but the book is written "with attitude", for nobody has
yet charted in coherent, integrative, and effective fashion a way to
move societies beyond their current paralysis as they face the
challenges of climate change. The coverage begins with an
examination of science, public opinion, and policy making, with special
attention to organized climate change denial. The book then moves to
economic analysis and its limits; different kinds of policies; climate
justice; governance at all levels from the local to the global; and the
challenge of an emerging "Anthropocene" in which the mostly unintended
consequences of human action drive the earth system into a more chaotic
and unstable era. The conclusion considers the prospects for fundamental
transition in ideas, movements, economics, and governance.Readership: Students and scholars of environmental studies, environmental politics, climate change, planning, public policy, and geography.
