Product Description

Review

Green Political Thought remains the definitive text on the political ideology of ecologism. Indeed, it has now acquired the status of a classic in the field. In this fourth edition, the distinctive features of ecologism remain as sharply etched as they were in the first edition but Dobson has revised and updated the rich variety of internal debates among green political theorists and activists, including a shift in focus from ethics to politics, and from radical resistance to ‘visionary pragmatism’.

Robyn Eckersley, University of Melbourne, Australia

Andy Dobson first made his statement about a green ideology sixteen years ago, and it quickly became the book on environmental political thought, against which all others were compared. In this new edition, (Andy) Dobson's thorough and lucid account of "ecologism" once again sets the standard. It should be the first place to turn for a comprehensive picture of ecological thought and the arguments in the field.

David Schlosberg, Northern Arizona University, USA

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, 9 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This book is aimed primarily at the academic reader. However, for those of us who take a practical interest in environmental issues, but find ourselves one day trying to explain exactly why people bother to use their cars less or why the natural world deserves respect, this is a valuable and very readable book. about the origins and theory of the movement which placed them on the agenda. The discussion of similarities and differences between Green and traditional politics was far more interesting than I would have expected - while the Greens are often seen as Left-wing, in some respects they have more similarilities to the Right. Frequent quotations and vignettes are neatly tied into a strong argument that Green politics is profoundly different from both. Dobson has clearly taken into account responses to the first edition. What is more, while I had the impression that sympathises with Green policies, this book is definitely a balanced discussion not a eulogy, so you don't have to be an ecologist to read it. Highly recommended!
