Neil Carter teaches on environmental policy and green politics at the University of York, and has published widely on such areas as the environmental record of the European Parliament, how mainstream parties respond to environmental issues, UK climate policy and the implications of Brexit for the environment. He was a founding member of Environmental Politics, and was joint editor of the journal for fourteen years. His article 'Greening the Mainstream: Party Politics and the Environment' won the 2015 American Political Science Association prize for the best paper in science, technology or environmental policy.
'This update of Carter's excellent text is very welcome, as it
provides a superb overview of environmental ideologies, parties and
movements, and policy issues. Ideal for courses in environmental
politics and policy.' Riley E. Dunlap, Regents Professor and
Dresser Professor Emeritus, Oklahoma State University
'The Politics of the Environment remains the authoritative textbook
on environmental politics. This fully updated third edition
includes the latest developments in theory and practice and
provides students and scholars a comprehensive comparative
introduction to environmental ideas, activism, politics and
policy.' Arthur P. J. Mol, Rector Magnificus, Wageningen University
and Research
'I have used earlier editions of Carter's The Politics of the
Environment to introduce students to environmental politics many
times, and they have always appreciated its clarity, breadth and
the concise way it helps them understand the often bewildering
complexity of the subject. The new edition will serve students and
teachers brilliantly with the same qualities, and do so
incorporating many of the key dynamics that have occurred since the
last edition.' Matthew Paterson, University of Manchester
'Environmentalism in its many manifestations continues to evolve
and expand its compass, and so too has this leading textbook. The
third edition of The Politics of the Environment remains essential
(and highly accessible) reading for anyone who wants to understand
the changing ideas, movements, politics and policies associated
with the civilizational challenge of our time.' Robyn Eckersley,
University of Melbourne
