Publisher's Synopsis
Why has the "green wave" started rolling now"? What are the forces shaping the future of international green politics? In this new book Steven Yearley provides a comprehensive and objective account of the basis of "green" arguments and of their social and political implications. The Green Case examines the reasons for the success of leading campaign groups (such as Greenpeace); analyses developments in green politics and green consumerism; highlights the grave ecological problems in the Third World, showing how closely these problems are bound to the Third World's need for development; demonstrates the systematic connections between aid, debt, development and the environment.
