A propos de cet article

Hardcover, x + 222 pages, NOT ex-library. Printed and bound in the UK. Gently used, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. A short scratch on the front board. Issued without a dust jacket. -- 'Environmental skepticism' describes the viewpoint that major environmental problems are either unreal or unimportant. In other words, environmental skepticism holds that environmental problems, especially global ones, are inauthentic. Peter Jacques describes, both empirically and historically, how environmental skepticism has been organized by mostly US-based conservative think tanks as an anti-environmental counter-movement. This is the first book to analyze the importance of the US conservative counter-movement in world politics and its meaning for democratic and accountable deliberation, as well as its importance as a mal-adaptive project that hinders the world's people to rise to the challenges of sustainability. Specific consideration is given to the threat of the counter-movement to marginalized people of the world and its philosophical implications through its commitment to a 'deep anthropocentrism'. -- Contents: Preface; Introduction; Science, Nature and Environmental Skepticism; World Politics and Political Ecology; Civic-Ontological Implications of Environmental Skepticism; Biopolitics and Representation of the Other: Skepticism, Violence and Disposal; Environmental Skepticism and the Dynamics of Collapse; Ecological Demos; Terms and Propositions; References; Appendix 1: Books Espousing Environmental Skepticism and Links to Conservative Think Tanks; Appendix 2: Conservative Think Tanks Interested in Environmental Issues; Index.…
