How have efforts to govern nature and address urgent global environmental challenges shaped, transformed or undermined processes of world ordering?
Chapters in this book explore how efforts to govern nature have transformed - or are transforming - how we understand and practice world politics. Bringing together a team of contributors from around the world, the book traces this inquiry across diverse international policy fields, from security and peacebuilding through science cooperation and governing ecosystems to the politics of economic growth. Taken together, the book offers a conceptually ambitious and empirically grounded account of how the governance of nature and the making of world order intertwine and calls for a research agenda to attend to the growing impact of this interrelationship.

Reviews / Votes
"A bold, theoretically rigorous, and empirically compelling argument for a fourth, post-anthropocentric IR debate that redefines the field amid the planet's ecological crises." Joana Castro Pereira, University of Porto "This innovative volume illuminates how crises of nature are not just environmental issues but crucibles of power and international politics." Olaf Corry, University of LeedsMore details
