Overview
Since the late 1980s, ecological thought and the European eco-movement have gone through a phase of fundamental transformation which has been widely acknowledged but not yet theorised in any satisfactory way. This important text questions why radical ecological criticism has had so little impact on contemporary society, despite the urgency of the issues it highlights. The book offers a challenging theoretical critique of ecological thought itself.Editorials

This study seeks to explain why radical ecological criticism has had so little impact on contemporary society, and offers a critique of ecological thought itself. Challenging increased reliance on empirical and policy-oriented approaches, Bl<:u>hdorn (European politics, University of Bath) insists on the indispensability of theoretical models, and he suggests that the eco-movement has become a rearguard battle defending outmoded modernist ideals. ^ Annotation c.
