International encyclopedia of environmental politics

"Written by an international team of specialists, this A-Z volume is the first to provide in-depth, worldwide coverage of the politics of environmentalism. With over 500 fully cross-referenced entries and suggestions for further reading, it will prove an essential reference source for the field. Coverage includes: country and regional entries, with country entries giving a concise overview of the history, main actors, issues and policies related to its environmental politics; normative and ethical dimensions of environmental politics, from animal rights, social and global justice to deep ecology; environmental movements, organizations, struggles and individual participants from local to international levels; issues in international environmental politics such as global warming, biodiversity, trade and the environment; prominent individuals (historical and current) who have inspired or been actively involved in international environmental politics - such as Mahatma Gandhi, Petra Kelly, Vandana Shiva and Aldo Leopold; and central topics and issues in environmental politics - such as globalization, wildlife preservation, eco-taxes, energy production and consumption, sustainable development and the World Trade Organization."--Jacket.
