Synopsis

The first book of its kind to offer a new materialist framework for the study of power

• Provides a new framework for the study of power
• Presents debates surrounding the Anthropocene and politics
• Includes case studies on climate change and power
• Explores avenues for expanding democracy
• Of interest to those interested in climate change, citizen participation, power, knowledge, and the future of democracy

Power in the Anthropocene offers a unique approach to the study of power in a time of multiple ecological crises. Drawing on insights from Jane Bennett, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, and others, the book introduces a new materialist framework and opens up innovative avenues for expanding democracy and political mobilization. The book is the first of its kind to link the study of power to debates about the Anthropocene, and it outlines a new agenda for interdisciplinary research that combines insights from both the natural sciences and the social sciences, including ecofeminism, sustainability science, indigenous studies, and environmental political theory.
