Contemporary environmental political theory considers the implications of the environmental crisis for such political concepts as rights, citizenship, justice, democracy, the state, race, class, and gender. As the field has matured, scholars have begun to explore connections between Green Theory and such canonical political thinkers as Plato, Machiavelli, Locke, and Marx. The essays in this volume put important figures from the political theory canon in dialogue with current environmental political theory.

Pendant que l’écologie radicale, arc-boutée à ses préceptes de rigueur, tente de résister, pendant que le Green business s’organise pour récupérer le marché bio, une troisième voie, sans nom, et qu’ici j’appelle “L’alternative ambiante”, naît des rumeurs entremêlées — analyses contradictoires, bilans de catastrophe, prédictions hasardeuses — mais aussi de véritables constats, d’expériences et de recherches sérieuses. [...] L’alternative ambiante regarde du côté de la décroissance sans y adhérer tout à fait, se détourne du Green business jugé excessif et, plutôt que d’espérer un quelconque salut venant des élus de la République, se place dans l’expectative en interrogeant les incidences possibles de l’Effet papillon. Oui, le jardin est planétaire, plus personne ne peut en douter mais tous ceux dont l’esprit alerté mesure les dimensions d’une si ample question se demandent comment on devient jardinier dans ce jardin-là. Aucune réponse ne parvient formulée d’un bloc. L’humanité incrédule, tour à tour endormie par les médias et réveillée par la crise, tente de nouvelles pistes de vie en terrain inconnu. Tout est à inventer, tout semble nouveau.

"In popular imagination, environmentalism is often linked to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and the political activism of the 1960s and '70s that moved increasing numbers of Americans to insist on a better quality of life-open spaces, clean air and water, beautification campaigns. But these interpretations have obscured the significant origins of environmentalism as a moral and intellectual broadside against the growing power of corporate capitalism, both domestically and in the postwar liberal international order the United States was enacting abroad. In Greening the Red, White, and Blue, Thomas Jundt shows how many Americans came to view powerful corporations and a federal government bent on economic growth as threats to human health and the environment. Fallout from atomic testing, air and water pollution, the proliferation of pesticides and herbicides-all connected to the growing dominance of technology and corporate capitalism in American life-led a variety of constituencies to seek solutions in what came to be known as environmentalism. In addition to political and legal campaigns to effect change, an alternative form of civic participation emerged beginning in the late-1940s as growing numbers of citizens turned to what they deemed environmentally friendly consumption practices. The goal of this politically charged consumption was not only to protect themselves and their families from harm, but also to achieve social change at a time when many believed the government was placing the desires of business before the needs of its citizens. Politicians responded to the growing environmental concerns of middle class Americans, but, in the end, continual political compromises with corporate power meant weak laws and lax enforcement. Many citizens sought refuge in an alternative "green" marketplace-including organic foods, natural-fiber clothing, alternative energy, and everyday products designed to have minimal environmental impact. In doing so, they attempted to create a community for those who shared their concerns and frustrations, as well as their vision for a different American Way. Thomas Jundt's work highlights the intertwining of consumerism and environmentalism amidst the growing power of corporate capitalism and government in postwar America"--

The onset of global concerns about environmental risks, climate change and threats to the planet from industry have focused the minds of a generation. Throughout the world, new movements are emerging in an attempt to challenge those who would put profits before the planet. This volume brings together global contributions that represent the cutting edge of research in the area of global environmental movements. Contributions include chapters on the spatial impacts of environmental groups in Israel, the work of Greenpeace in Brazil, environmental activism in Ireland, animal rights and anti-hunt activism in Malta, the global de-growth movement, environmental movement mobilization in China, and anti-pollution activism in India. The scope and breath of this research indicates the emergence of both a global grassroots environmental mobilization in addition to analysis and documentation of these responses by researchers world-wide. With increased threats from climatic change and ecological degradation being highlighted as a threat to much of the world's population in the coming century, this activism and ensuing research becomes all the more significant.

L'enjeu de l'écologie n'est plus simplement d'actualité, il est urgent. Le climat change, les ressources s'épuisent, et plus le temps passe plus les sombres prédictions faites par le Club de Rome dans les années 1970 se vérifient. En conséquence, la question rencontre de plus en plus d'intérêt. Les thèses sont nombreuses, et à les lire, on ne peut se départir d'une impression de flou, voire d'éparpillement ou de contradiction. L'écologie politique est-elle progressiste ? Est-elle réactionnaire ? Est-elle libertaire ou autoritaire ? S'agit-il d'une nouvelle religion ? S'agit-il du nouveau conflit central ? En partant des questions clé qui ont orienté les débats autour de l'écologisme depuis son apparition dans les années 1960, Fabrice Flipo organise la discussion et relie les fils épars de l'analyse empirique et théorique. Il nous montre que l'écologie politique se définit non par la protection de l'environnement mais par une remise en cause de l'universalité du mode de vie moderne. L'écologisme est ainsi un mouvement d'emblée global, qui renverse les cadres établis de la politique.
