Fair Trade
The Challenges of Transforming
Globalization
Edited by Laura T. Raynolds, douglas Murray and
John Wilkinson
’This edited volume – the
first of its kind – is a valuable
contribution. The book fills
an important niche, pulling
together in one place a
wealth of detailed data on
the rapidly changing political
and organizational
landscape of the
international fair trade
movement. It will be
valuable to researchers and
practitioners working on fair
trade and other alternative market initiatives, and
would be useful for graduate courses on food
systems, globalization, development and other
topics in a range of social science disciplines.’

Global Environmental
Politics
Concepts, Theories and Case Studies
Edited by Gabriela Kutting, Rutgers-Newark
University, USA
’This text reminds readers
that global environmental
politics is a vibrant and
evolving field of study. The
book surveys a diverse set of
ideas even as it focuses
deserved attention on some
of the most interesting and
pressing problems of the
day, including climate
change, deforestation, and
biological diversity. Perhaps
most impressively, even as
the text examines the tangible ecological costs of
poverty, overconsumption, and inequality, it does
not dodge difficult ethical and political questions
concerning social justice and legitimate
governance.’ - Rodger A. Payne, University of Louisville,
USA
Global Environmental Politics is the perfect introduction
to this increasingly significant area. The text combines an
accessible introduction to the most important
environmental theories and concepts with a series of
detailed case studies of the most pressing environmental
problems.
Features and benefits of the book:
• Explains the most important concepts and theories in
environmental politics.
• Introduces environmental politics within the context of
political science and international relations theories.
• Demonstrates how the concepts and theories apply in
a wide variety of real world contexts.
• Case studies include the most important environmental
issues from climate change and biodiversity to forests
and marine pollution.
• Each chapter is written by an established international
authority in the field.
