Excellent- More about The Political Ecology of Austerity: Crisis, Social Movements, and the Environment
The Political Ecology of Austerity explores the environmental dimension of austerity that has thus far escaped academic, policy, and media attention. It highlights the importance of considering environmental issues when designing responses to economic crisis and proposes 'the political ecology of austerity' as an appropriate method of analysis to inform our understanding of the shift in environmental protection policies and the intensification of growth practices.

The Political Ecology of Austerity delves into the overlooked environmental dimension of austerity, shedding light on its far-reaching socio-environmental consequences. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the holistic socio-environmental impact of austerity measures, the book underscores the significance of incorporating environmental considerations in designing responses to future economic crises. Through detailed case studies from various parts of the world, the volume documents the ways in which austerity affects global and local ecologies, shapes environmental conflicts, and gives rise to new forms and practices of social mobilization and resistance. By bringing together theoretical debates and rigorous case studies, the book proposes the political ecology of austerity as an effective analytical framework to comprehend the shift in environmental protection policies and the intensification of growth practices, both green and otherwise, that followed the 2008 global economic crisis.
The Political Ecology of Austerity reveals austerity as a globalized toolkit employed not only for budgetary discipline but also for socio-environmental discipline, thereby justifying the continuation of capital accumulation at the expense of further global environmental degradation. This book holds immense interest for students and scholars in social and political sciences, environmental studies, urban studies, and political ecology.
