Description
This book is one of the first to systematically examine the debate about global order in International Relations from an ecological perspective.
Bringing together an international team of expert contributors, chapters offer a well-rounded exploration of the ecological view on world order from a diverse mix of cultural and theoretical backgrounds. The book provides a nuanced understanding of the social structures underlying specific world political challenges and offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of various global orders and their implications for international affairs.
