- 1 Want to read
"This highly acclaimed introduction to green political thought is now available in a new edition, having been fully revised and updated to take into account the areas which have grown in importance since the third edition was published." "The author describes and assesses the political ideology of 'ecologism', and compares this radical view of remedies for the environmental crisis with the 'environmentalism' of mainstream politics. Dobson examines the philosophical basis of ecological thinking, the potential shape of a sustainable society and the means at hand for achieving it. The relationship between ecologism and other political ideologies is also discussed."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"In the Introduction I began to establish three points: first, that ecologism is not the same as environmentalism; second, that environmentalism is not a political ideology; and third, that while environmentalism is sufficiently non-specific for it to be hybridized with most ideologies, it is at its most uncomfortable with ecologism."

Work Description
Andrew Dobson's cogent and stimulating analysis of the political ideas, aims and strategies of the green movement has quickly established itself as the standard text in the field. This new edition locates ecologism clearly within the general field of political ideologies, discussing the philosophical basis of green politics and the political-theoretical problems it raises.
Green Political Thought is an excellent introduction to the field for students of environmental politics and of political ideologies, and for anyone who wishes to know why green ideas are important in the late twentieth century.
