Abstract:
This accomplished book argues that we can only make sense of environmental issues if we consider them as part of a more encompassing process of social transformation. It asks whether there is an emerging consensus between social scientists on the central issues in the debate on environmental change, and if concerns about the environment constitute a major prop to the process of globalization? The book provides a thorough discussion of the central themes in environmental sociology, identifying two traditions: ecological modernization theory and risk society theory
Note:
Based on a conference on "Social Theory and the Environment", organized under the auspices of the International Sociological Association (ISA) by the Research Group on "Environment and Society"--Preface. - Includes bibliographical references and index. - Print version record
