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. The author: 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 - develops an important critique and reconstruction of existing conceptualizations such as those around 'deep' and 'shallow' green thinking, or 'egologism' and 'environmentalism'
