Leydier Gilles, Martin Alexia. Environmental Issues in Political Discourse in Britain and Ireland

Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013. — ISBN (10): 1-4438-4851-4; ISBN (13): 978-1-4438-4851-0.This volume seeks to examine the political dimension of environmental concerns in the context of the British Isles, notably how these issues have been assimilated by political parties, which issues have been given priority, the scope and nature of the influence of the main actors, and the role of ecologists. It is a collective work bringing together researchers and academics from a range of disciplines and backgrounds, who offer diverse perspectives on the subject. They aim at analyzing the political response to current environmental issues, revealing some cases of genuine commitment and effective action, and sometimes highlighting discrepancies between statements of intent and election pledges on the one hand, and implemented policies on the other.Political Ecology: Theories and Concepts
